Kirk is a fourth-generation Washingtonian whose family has lived on Capitol Hill since the late 1800s, and where he continues to live today with his wife and two children. Kirk's Great-Grandmother, Margaret, purchased this 1890 Victorian home In 1905 to entice one of her two daughters to raise her own family in the neighborhood. Kirk's Great Aunt, Nell, and her husband, John, raised their 12 children in this home.

In 2008 at the behest of Kirk's 82-year-old cousin, Kirk's family purchased the house from relatives who had owned or lived in the house since 1905, and then they spent over two years meticulously restoring and renovating the home, blending old-world Victorian charm and ambiance with new world appliances and technology.

Today, Kirk's family, now a fifth generation of Washingtonians, are honored to offer you the opportunity to experience residential living in the newly updated guesthouse, right in the heart of our Nation's Capitol, at the Historic Eastern Market on Capitol Hill!

Neat house in a great neighborhood

We spent a week exploring DC and this location was perfect. Easy walk to Capitol Hill, metro station about a block away, and plenty of restaurants & coffee shops close by. The house is charming & comfortable. The owner is exceptionally accommodating.

Washington dc apartment

I absolutely loved it! My husband had a difficult time with stairs because it was upstairs. He's 60 and they were a little steep. Just indicate stairs are a little narrow for older folks, carrying suit cases and all would be considered perfect. Would definitely come back and stay at this property

Definitely "Fabulous"!

Wow! The location of this property could not have been better for our vacation with convenient access to the Metro or Trader Joe's/CVS or restaurants or the Mall. Kirk's communication was outstanding and extremely thorough. The residence was very clean. It was the perfect spot to rest each evening after a day of sight-seeing or to stroll through the neighborhoods admiring the architecture after dinner. I highly recommend this venerable Victorian!

Capitol Hill

This is a great place to stay. Great little restaurants within a couple blocks, little grocery store just around the corner, and a half block to metro station. We took the metro many times and were impressed by how clean and modern it was. The apartment is lovely, like it’s described, and in a very safe area. My wife and I are 70 and getting luggage up the stairs was a bit difficult (this is more on us than the place, should pack more efficiently) but we would come here again in an instant. The whole process of check in and out was easy, and the instructions were simple. Highly recommend this place.

Great place for our first stay in DC

Exactly as described! Very clean with all the comforts of home. Within walking distance to everything you need-groceries/alcohol, restaurants and transportation. We parked our car out front and didn’t move it the entire week. Took the Metro everywhere; really easy to figure out! Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Kirk!

Our visit was perfect! The location was so convenient to the Metro, which allowed us to get anywhere we were headed. To groceries and the market so we could cook when it suited us, and to tasty restaurants when it didn’t! The property itself was clean and well cared for. Comfortable. And had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back!

Comfy unit in excellent location, but could use some updating

We were looking to spend 2 weeks touring DC and wanted to stay in a place where we could cook, relax, etc., and not have to go out to eat all the time. We stayed in the Cap Hill neighborhood many years ago, so I was glad to find this unit.We are former VRBO owners, so we have high expectations. Overall, there were both pluses and minuses to this apartment.Pluses:- Location was great, just a half block to the Eastern Market Metro stop and the neighborhood felt very safe. Trader Joe’s is nearby as is CVS. There are other grocery stores, such as Safeway and Harris Teeter, but they are a longer walk (15 min) and generally not in the direction of most of the main DC sites.- The back deck is probably the best part of the house, providing a very comfortable place to relax. Living room is also quite nice with a good TV.- Check-in was easy and we were able to coordinate with the Host to drop off our luggage prior to check in time. Key pad entry is very easy.- Communication with the Host was good.Minuses:- The unit is old and a bit tired, e.g., carpet stains, holes in some towels, etc. - The kitchen is supplied for only very basic cooking needs, and some things were missing, e.g., no can opener or scissors, only 1 hot pad holder, etc. Many pans/dishes could do with a tune up/replacement.- It’s practically impossible to use the oven without the smoke alarms going off.Overall, the apartment worked well for our needs and enabled us to experience DC living.

Fantastic location

We had a fabulous time in this house - kitchen was updated with all we needed, there was a washer & drier in the unit and the bed was super comfortable. As a plus, the water pressure was amazing and the high ceilings gave a wonderful sense of lightness and space. It was so close to the metro we didn't have to drive anywhere, which was a big plus. Our advance communication with Kirk was so thorough (including a page long email with ideas of where to go in DC) that we didn't need to contact him at all while staying there. We'll definitely book here again for our next trip to DC.

Work or Play this is a great place to stay

With all of the rentals in DC, you never know what you might get, this apartment did not disappoint. I worked on the hill for a week and Eastern Market Suites was a gem. The apt was clean and nicely renovated with high end appliances, but still had the nostalgia of the old brown stone houses. It was a nice 18 minute walk to Hill, great restaurants were close by. Kurt was a fantastic host. The queen bed was comfortable with nice linens. All the little touches made this a five star rental.
