About this apartment rental
Eastern Market Suites is a charming, newly renovated Victorian house featuring a three room suite on the first level, offering a single bedroom w/queen-size bed, a double-size sofa-bed in your tastefully furnished living room, and other high-end amenities. Located at the Eastern Market Metro station, on Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC., we are less than two blocks from the historic Eastern Market (circa 1873), where visitors enjoy fresh produce six days a week and an outdoor flea market featuring antiques and local artisan's wares every weekend. Your suite is around the corner from Barrack's Row (a very popular destination point for restaurants, coffee shops and shopping), and 1/2 block from easy subway access to anywhere in or around the city.
Recognized as one of the safest and and most conveniently pedestrian friendly neighborhoods in the country, we have been rated at 94 out of 100%.
Virtually everyone who has stayed at the Suites has been amazed by the ambiance, convenience & comforts found in their suite, and you, too, will be very pleased when staying in your clean, cozy, yet spacious Eastern Market Suite while visiting Washington, D.C.
For tourists & business travelers alike, we are only a ten minute stroll to the U.S. Capitol Campus, the U.S. Supreme Court & Congressional Office buildings, and the east end of the National Mall. The world-famous Castle of the Smithsonian Institute is only 15 minutes away on Metro (4 stops) and the new Nationals Baseball stadium is only ten blocks from your suite.
You will enjoy a unique experience of 'living' in a historic home in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., within the shadow of the U.S. Capitol Building, rather than in some stark hotel room somewhere in the city.

Another great stay at this property!
We actually stayed on the top floor of the house, rather than this unit to better accommodate another family but the space was great! It was very tastefully decorated and well equipped, nicely climate controlled (cool despite warmth and humidity), and the parking permit is a real bonus! Great location - close to wonderful restaurants, Metro, and Trader Joe's.

Eastern Market Suites (EMS): A Great Weekend Getaway Choice
The EMS property was just as described, and quite lovely. The first floor apartment was spacious enough to make us feel very comfortable, and the neighborhood was lovely -- and quiet! Kirk was terrific throughout the booking process, and the fact that the property has been in his family for generations means he takes extra special care of it.
When we next visit DC, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for all.

It felt home-like. Good location with much to do nearby. Property manager was responsive, good communicator. Would have liked better lighting for reading in bed, but I’m nit-picking...

Fantastic stay!
We loved this property! We wanted to stay longer but the property was already booked. We will definitely be staying at that property again. Easy access to places to eat, groceries, etc. Also, only a little over a mile to the Capital!

Great place
Fantastic in every way. Location, kitchen, bedroom, back porch...all great. Could we hear the folks upstairs, yeah a little bit...no problem whatsoever. Will definitely be looking for this place on future trips to DC.

Beautiful apartment in unbeatable location
My four year old son and I stay at the Eastern Suites for a long weekend and had the best time. The location cannot be beat. The apartment is half a block from the Eastern Market metro station and one block from all of the fabulous restaurants along 8th St. The neighborhood is beautiful and very walkable. The apartment itself is lovely and Kirk is such a wonderful, super responsive host! This is going to be our go-to rental every time we’re in the District!

Great location
You cannot beat the proximity to the metro station. Unit was clean and as described. My one complaint is that I am fairly short and the height of some fixtures like the kitchen cabinets and bathtub were definitely made for someone taller. It wouldn't stop me from staying here again, though.

Beautiful Capitol Hill Apartment
This spot is perfect for those looking to stay on Capitol Hill. It's just a few doors down from the metro, and feels very peaceful. Newer bathroom and kitchen, full cooking facilities, and well-appointed and decorated. You must understand there is--unavoidably--noise in old buildings, so if hearing footsteps above occasionally will drive you nuts, this probably isn't your place. If, however, you like vintage buildings, an authentic neighborhood experience and a thoughtfully and comfortably decorated home-away-from-home, it's a perfect spot.

Love the location!
We enjoyed our stay at the Eastern Market Suite near the Capitol. The location is perfect for touring the Capitol and Smithsonian Museums. We were able to take the Metro everywhere as the Eastern Market stop is so close. The photographs of the Eastern Market Suite in Vrbo do not do the beautiful apartment justice. It has original Victorian charm and is yet comfortable. We would stay again!

Second time, still great!
The apartment is in a charming neighborhood, super conveniently located for the metro, Eastern Market, groceries, restaurants, bars, coffee, etc. It's a lovely place, comfortable, attractive and private. Communication with the owner about the details was super straightforward, and everything about the place was as described. This was our second time staying here, and we would happily stay again. Just a block or two away from the metro, for coming and going to the Mall, as well as offering tons of fun spots for food/drink and strolling right in the neighborhood.

Great location, very clean!
This property is in an excellent location. Conveniently close to Eastern Market Metro, and many awesome restaurants. Was so nice to walk to dinner! We especially loved Hank's Oyster Bar, Aqua Al 2, and Ted's Bulletin and Cava Mezze. Our communication with Kirk was very prompt and thorough. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The only minor complaint would be the noise from the people above(could hear them walking); but that was mentioned in the property description; and again minor. We would definitely stay here again. Loved it!

Amazing gem
I did not know anything about Washington when my family decided to go there. I came across Keith’s place and it sounded very good. Well when we got there I was surprised how beautiful the neighborhood is. The Metro is super close so is Trader Joe’s and the CVS. The neighborhood is quit and the bed is very good. I was considering not leaving but I had to go back to work...

Perfect for our family
This was the perfect location for us for a quick family trip to DC. The metro was a block away, Trader Joe's was too! The place was just what we needed in terms of space, provisions, and cleanliness. The information provided prior to the trip was thorough and what we needed for our stay. This is a great spot for a couple of friends, a small family, or couple who like the ease of being on foot and having a lot of amenities nearby. Thanks!

Apartment with character and amenities
Perfectly sized unit in older, nicely updated unit in appealing neighborhood. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Furnishing in unit very nicely updated with high end appliances.
Would advise to check map carefully - this rental is in DC Southeast and may or may not be convenient to the location of your activities. I was, however, able to walk to the Capitol in less than 20 minutes.

We are a retired couple from New Orleans who visited D.C. in October 2018. We carefully selected this apartment after quite a bit of study. We didn't go wrong! Our stay was delightful on all accounts.
This Capitol Hill-Eastern Market apartment is lovely and extremely well decorated, equipped, and comfortable. The kitchen even has a Viking range and Fisher Paykel refrigerator and dishwasher.
We absolutely loved the location! It is excellent for morning walks, access to several parks (including one at the Navy Yard on the river), and within easy walking distance of 35-40 restaurants. A walk to the U.S. Supreme Court building and the Capitol takes about 20 minutes. In mid-morning and the mid-afternoon the museums are a quick and easy uber ride of 10 minutes, 15 at the most. Like any big city, avoid the rush hour traffic. There is also a metro stop only a block away, so taking the metro is another good option for getting around.
"Barracks Row", a portion of 8th St. S.E., is a block away and home to a wide variety of restaurants including: Balkan, Belgian,Thai, Italian, Pakastani/Indian, Greek, Mexican, Seafood, Sushi, and, of course, American. A few other restaurants are located on nearby Pennsylvania Avenue.
If we return to D.C. again, we will definitely want to stay at this apartment again. A somewhat trivial comment, but perhaps worth mentioning, is that there are no ice trays. The refrigerator, like most refrigerators made primarily for sale in Europe and elsewhere--but not in the U.S.--does not have an ice maker. So if you want ice during your stay, bring an ice tray or two.
Don't hesitate to rent his apartment! It is one of the nicest and best located apartments we have ever rented and definitely deserves a 5 star rating.

Sometimes your trip is enhanced when you stay somewhere and feel like a local. This property was great for that - close to the metro, Trader Joes, the historic Eastern market, etc. We loved it for that reason. Kirk sent us all of the relevant info we needed and more. The only thing we didn't love was the peeling paint in the living room and the weird stuff underneath the bathroom fan that blew on the wall. Towels could definitely be upgraded but those things aside - charming townhome on beautiful street, well appointed and clean. We would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay at Eastern Market Suites. It is located just a few blocks from our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren so the location is perfect for us. The property is very well kept and had everything we needed for a week long stay. Kirk, the host, is kind, responsive, informative and engaging. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to the grandkids!

Very happy with our stay. Comfortable spot for my son and I to have a great weekend trip to DC. Eastern Market suites is 1-2 blocks from a metro station, pharmacy, Starbucks, and great restaurants. We were able to arrange to drop off our luggage early and leave our bags a little late for more sightseeing time. Very, very clean kitchen, bathroom and bedding. Highly recommend!

We really like the inner city location with quaint neighborhood restaurants. There were many nearby with very good food. We were close to Metro Buses, Trains and DC circulators (just 50c) that took us to all locations of visit. Kirk was very prompt and made sure all accomodations were supplied;Even a Parking permit to park anywhere on the street. and we always found a spot near the apt.
Overall a very good place to stay and visit DC.
I would definitely stay here again.

The home is quaint and lovely. Nicely redone with a cute backyard, where you can chill out on a cool evening. The location was perfect for a number of reasons. A relative lives nearby and the Eastern Market area is so vibrant and full of great restaurants and pubs. Had a great time. I would definitely stay again on another visit to Washington, DC!

This VRBO is in a good location with access to everything needed. We walked everywhere, yet public transportation was easily accessible. Kirk was great at responding to our questions before and during. Entry was easy, we felt secure and everything worked well.

Terrific location for ease of access by just walking to Barracks Row restaurants plus the 8th & I Friday night parade. We were surprised at how quiet it was inside the apartment considering a somewhat busy street just outside. Kirk immediately responded to a lack of internet access by contacting the service provider to get it restored right after we arrived.

Having a comfortable place to call 'home' for a week was a lifesaver! The subway and public transportation was conveniently close! Also there were so many great restaurants in the neighborhood! I would highly recommend this building for a brief or extended stay in Washington DC area!!

I'm about to check out after a 4 night stay. I had been a little worried about just how far the Metro really was because on the maps it shows that it's in a park. But in real life it's more of a pocket park. It truly is only about 200 steps from the front door to the entrance of the Metro and I take short steps. When I arrived Kirk greeted me and could not have been kinder and showed me around the place. It's beautifully done and you won't be the least bit disappointed. And he changes the door code for each new guest. I have felt safe and very comfortable during the entire week. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and I hope to be able to come back.
BTW, when I contacted Kirk in advance to ask if I might add an additional day on the front of my visit, he said it was booked but referred me to the Capitol Hill Hotel very nearby. It was a wonderful referral and I would certainly stay at that hotel again as well. I definitely prefer Kirk's place, but as an alternative for a night or so the hotel was great.

First time in DC and staying at this location made it great, beautiful place close to metro, restaurants and eastern markets. You can walk to all the sites if you choose. Kirk the owner helped out with suggestions on things to do and how best to do them. Can't wait to return to DC will definitely try to stay here again.

Kirk's property is absolutely fantastic! The condo itself is very nice and comfortable. The location is perfect! Sooo close to the metro, restaurants, shopping! It really made our trip more enjoyable than being in a hotel! We loved it and if we return, will stay here. I will also recommend it to my friends and family for their future visits! Thanks so much!!

My wife & I spent a week in DC at this property. What an excellent property and location. The property is on a beautiful and quiet tree lined street. We drove in from MA, parked our car right in front with the permit provided and never moved it again. 100 steps is no lie to the Eastern Market Metro Station which was so convenient after a long day of walking around DC. We felt like we had our own little home away from home. Kirk, the owner, communicated frequently with us and answered all our questions. Also many great restaurants and the Marine Barracks-Washington are a block away on 8th St. SE. If we get back to DC, we'd come looking or this place again !!

My son and I were in town to check out where he would be working during his summer internship and found this house to be in a great location. The owner was on site when we arrived and explained the condo to us. It is beautifully restored and updated, the pull out sofa was comfortable as was the bed. We will be back.

We love the house and the location.
