Perfect getaway in North Seattle

The ambiance of the place is very tasteful with Japanese and Chinese decor. The meditation room adds to to the unique experience. The outdoor jacuzzi tub and sauna provide excellent relaxation experience. Two bedrooms have comfortable beds and the unit has full kitchen and dining room. Wish could stay longer there.
