It was great to watch the water and all it's comings and goings from Dennis's place. We knew we were in Seattle without having to leave the house at all. The apartment is an easy walk to the university, just across the river and the university boat houses (for Boys in the Boat fans) and an easy ride on bus number 70 into town, or a bus ride out to see the Locks. The apartment was bright, clean, tidy, equipped with everything we needed- including great coffee, and Dennis provided all the details we needed ahead of time. We had many highlights in the city over our 4 day visit, but my overwhelming memory will be sitting on the balcony drinking coffee, watching the rowers. I highly recommend it
