Fabulous 1890 Victorian home on Capitol Hill; 100 steps to metro, #1
About this condo rental
Located in Capitol Hill, this attractive condo for £179 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. 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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

My husband and I stayed in Kirk's property for 4 nights in October 2016, on the last leg of our self-proclaimed "american history tour". The property was perfect for us - well-kept, very clean, plenty of space to spread out, street parking on the block, lovely restaurants within a block or two. It also is literally half a block from the metro and the circulator, which made getting around to all the sights very easy. Can't think of anything I would suggest or change, except maybe a bigger coffee pot (we drink a lot of coffee! :-)) But, there's a Starbucks close by too!

We were delighted with our stay in Kirk's wonderful apartment. The space has been sympathetically restored, retains all the best features of a Hill house, but includes everything we want in this modern world: dishwasher, microwave, washer-drier and, most important for this tenant, a coffee-maker. The whole property is spotless and shows TLC.
We were very comfortable but, since our visit was business rather than pleasure, we weren't able to take advantage of the beautiful, private, peaceful decking area.
The house is in a perfect location for the buzz on Barracks Row, the fun of Eastern Market and the ease of the Metro. All the DC sightseeing locations are accessible and the house and restaurants are great to return to to wind down. We would like to say that even though these facilities are right on the doorstep, the block of 7th Street is very quiet, safe and pleasant to walk in.
We are quite familiar with The Hill and have had less agreeable experiences of properties but wouldn't hesitate to return here. Just about to check that our 'home' will be available for us at the end of October!
Thanks for accommodating us, Kirk. You've done a great job.

The property was everything as advertised, and the owner was friendly and helpful in every way. The location near eastern market and the metro was outstanding. We would gladly book again.

The accommodations were very nice and clean. The entire rental process was a breeze. It was walking distance to the subway, plenty of restaurants, and a grocery store. The back patio was very nice and relaxing. Our stay was very brief, but we look forward to visiting again. We highly recommend this property.
