The Aviary is a really great place. Everything is new and spotless. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with a lot of goodies (treats) and the bed is very comfortable, just as good as at home. Street parking, almost immediately in front of the entrance gate, was available all the time during my week's stay.
Being a light sleeper and somewhat noise phobic, I am always a little reluctant to be in a unit with someone above, but it was a non-issue. The immediate neighborhood is quiet too. I haven't live in Seattle for 25 years and was surprised to find that the Columbia City commercial area, about 5 blocks away was home to a variety of nice restaurants, coffee houses and bars, truly a pleasant surprise
