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

The location of this rental could not be better. Literally within a block of amazing restaurants and a quick Uber or train to downtown. The rental was great too; comfortable beds, cozy living room, and large island in the kitchen! Kirk was readily available and was super helpful, even on Christmas day! Would definitely stay here again! Our only feedback is to update the listing to show the futon is not in one of the bedrooms but in the living room.

House is just a few minutes walk away from multiple dining locations, cafes and bars. It’s also close by to a children’s park while still remaining very quiet. Our only issue was with the smoke detectors that would go off whenever we cooked anything. Kitchen vent hood made things worse by directing heat toward the ceiling and not venting outside. I’d stay here again but would cover or temporarily remove the detectors in the living space and hallway.

Perfect for our 4 day stay in DC. Nice neighborhood, easy access to Metro, 8th St restaurants, coffee, and Eastern Market on Sunday.

We loved this apartment. It is quiet and a very short walk to the metro, multiple grocery stores, and many other shops and restaurants. The new playground by the metro station was a lifesaver for us as we were traveling with two young boys who need to get energy out. Kirk kindly provided a parking pass that let us park right outside.

We chose this property due to ease of access to the mall and were surprised to find how much the neighborhood had to offer. There are great local shops as well as a Trader Joes should you chose to dine in. Will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future.

The unit is perfectly located very near the Metro station. Getting around town was a breeze. Eastern Market is great (loved the bakery). Tons of restaurants on 8th. The Marine barracks is just a few blocks away. We even found the Commandant's house and had a nice chat with the Marine guard. Kirk was very helpful and responsive. The neighborhood is cool. Kirk s place was the perfect place for our return trip to DC

My family of 4 stayed for 3 nights to tour DC. The location of the property is excellent; close to Metro, walkable to many neighborhoods, good food nearby, safe. The property, however, did have a couple issues. Upon arrival, the a/c was not functioning and it got up to 80 degrees inside. Kirk needed to enter the unit to reset the system, which fixed the issue for the remainder of the stay (though the individual a/c units are a little loud). We also encountered a cockroach and an large worm inside. Kirk was responsive and offered to apply a "treatment", which we declined given we did not want him to enter the unit another time and didn't know what the treatment would entail. Maybe the bugs are common in DC for ground-level units, but we just didn't feel completely comfortable, especially our kids, after having to deal with them. Overall our stay was fine for the short time we were there, but we will look for other options on our next visit.
