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 second story apartment
It’s a great apartment in a great location! Very easy to communicate with host! Parking can be a little tricky finding a spot and the narrow staircase can be a bit challenging while trying to navigate luggage but overall It’s a wonderful place to stay!!

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.

Great Place
We had a wonderful stay at the Victorian on Capitol Hill. As said in other reviews the location was excellent, close to the Metro and walkable neighborhoods with charming rowhouses. The apartment was very clean, with a comfortable bed and great living and kitchen spaces. Would definitely stay here again!

The property is in a perfect location. It is so close to public transportation that we were able to park our car and leave it for the entire week. The space comfortable without feeling crowded.

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.

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.
