Dennis' place was nice with great views of the water and the university of Washington across the university bridge. The place was clean and we were able to use the grill for the Fourth of July, which was a big positive. However, if you are on vacation and plan on sleeping in, count that out. We were a party of four, and none of us were able to sleep through the noise coming from the unit above. Noise would start at 6am and continue throughout the day as long as people were present in the unit above. We contacted Dennis, who got in touch with those living above us, and the noise level seemingly increased the following day. If you are prepared to deal with incessant noise, which is only amplified by the fact that the building's age allows noise to resonate through the floors and walls, then the views are great. However, if you are looking to relax and have leisurely days where you are able to sleep in until 8 or 9, I would not suggest this apartment, as the tenants above do not seem to either respond to requests to lower the noise level, or are completely able to do so.
