This house is definitely worth renting. And, on top of that, Becky is helpful and communicative. I was in town for business for several days; my family joined me and the Hilltop House was our home base.
We needed only the upstairs bedrooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great---although it is an older house, there is no sub-par plumbing or anything. From my twelve-year-old and fourteen-year-old: "My favourite was that the furniture and beds were very comfortable" and "The beds were spacious and comfortable. There was a lot of closet space. The house was well heated and very clean." The house is beautiful and historic and renovated (with before and after photos in the binder!). The kitchen is well equipped and good for food prep with a great gas range and oven---we easily cooked our own food the whole time, including homemade pizza.
The neighborhood is a key asset of this rental. Several blocks of shopping on Queen Anne are one block away. (One block of walking on sidewalk stairs---no noisy traffic or cross streets.) We shopped for food by walking to Trader Joe's or Safeway. There is also an excellent board-game store where we stopped most days to play free demos. There is also pizza, coffee, boutique dining, etc.---you can walk through the pleasant residential neighborhood before popping out on the busy Queen Anne on one of many cross streets.
I had to get downtown for my business and there is a city bus that runs right up Queen Anne from downtown at all hours. (It turns out that Hilltop House is at the top of a hill---let the bus drive you up!) Walking down to the museums near the Space Needle was also a hit with the kids (bus back up!). If you must drive yourself around from the house, it was pretty easy to get to I-5 when we left town, but we didn't drive at all otherwise.
