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!

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!

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.

Kirk made the visit seamless. Excellent location, only used public transportation, except taxi to and from train station due to luggage. Very comfortable and quiet neighborhood.

Location! Location! Location! Being a block from the Metro station and surrounded by restaurants, shops, and a Trader Joe’s made this stay easy, efficient and comfortable. Communication was smooth and apartment was well appointed and comfortable. Definitely will stay here again.

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.

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.

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.
