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!

Great location to metro in a charming neighborhood
The location of this property is wonderful. It was 1/2 a block from the metro, which allowed us to take it in to the mall area within maybe 10 to 15 minutes. There was an entire street of restaurants 1 street behind the property and a Trader Joes and CVS all very close. Our favorite quick restaurants nearby was Πzza, and we had a fantastic burger at Eat Brgz. The owner was very thorough with his instructions and made it very easy to check in. He also allowed us to leave our bags in a designated area after check out since our flight didn't leave til later, which was so nice. The unit itself was very clean. We loved the front living area to hang out at night. The only issues we had were with the filtered water on the fridge and the dryer not working properly, but Kirk was aware and planned on fixing those small issues. We absolutely loved the people in Washington DC, and the charm of the neighborhood, and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Perfect!
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!

A Row House Gem!
It was such a pleasure staying in a well-maintained, modern-applianced, classic row house. As we walked in various residential areas of DC we saw houses like ours and felt like we belonged. The property is located in a safe, attractive, residential neighborhood, very walkable to restaurants and transportation, even a small grocery store as well as bars and coffee shops and lively local businesses. We highly recommend the one-dollar-a-ride Circulator bus for getting to other areas of the city, with stops for two different lines a mere block away. The host was very responsive. He did mention that sound carries in these older houses and we could occasionally hear the tenants below and felt that we should be careful about the volume of our voices, not shouting from room to room-- but this is a negligible adjustment to make in a really lovely situation.

All we could have hoped for!
This is a beautiful space that is exactly as advertised! We had a wonderful time in DC and this space made it feel like home. Communication from the owner was open, informative and very pleasant. The space is literally half a block from the metro and in a safe location. We were able to park on the street right in front of the building and did not move our car throughout our entire stay. The space was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The washer and dryer were a great bonus amenity. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed staying here. We would definitely recommend the space and host. We hope to be able to return in the future.

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.

Fit Our Needs
The property was exactly as described, and it worked perfectly for the two of us. The check-in process was easy and smooth with detailed info also provided for the apartment itself and in the vicinity. Kirk responded to any questions we had prior to and during our stay, and he was always kind. We liked the very short walks over to 8th Street and Eastern Market area for restaurants. We felt safe throughout our stay, but we would suggest using ride share if needing to go further than the nearby 8th street restaurants after dark. (Perhaps we just saw some people out late on the street at the nearby park that were just “celebrating” over the holiday weekend.) We would stay here again if back in the area.

Lovely, lovely stay
I loved everything about this property. I stayed there for three nights with my two adult children so we could visit monuments, museums, etc. The town house was beautiful and very well maintained. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet. Once we learned how to fully utilize the Metro we were able to explore many areas and landmarks in DC. I did not move my car once I got a parking spot. I had a bit of a difficult time getting one when we arrived on a Friday night and I was afraid to leave in my car and return to not having a parking place. That was fine with me though. I hadn't planned on driving while in DC anyway. I would definitely stay here again. It had a nice home-like quality and we were very comfortable. I could easily fix yummy food we had purchased from the Eastern Market. The market is fantastic. The entire neighborhood is wonderful for just walking and checking out the shops and restaurants. This was the first stop on a two-week road trip so it was also beneficial to have a washer and dryer so we didn't have to pack as many clothes. I also enjoyed the back deck while we had a bit of a downpour one day. I highly recommend this lovely home when visiting DC!
