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!

Kitchen could use better (larger) coffee maker for people today like their coffee.We could not get the dishwasher to work above... the one below, it did not drain. Might be us not figuring it out... so we washed by hand.Very charming... historic... quiet location to metro was perfect for what we were doing in D.C. The walk to The Capitol was easy and not very far, restaurants along the route were of interest. The National Guardsmen and women were extremely informative and nice to talk to.
The property was conveniently located to walk to Eastern Market & other shops & restaurants. It was comfortable & clean. The kitchen was well equipped. It was the perfect spot for us to visit with nearby family. We enjoyed our stay!
Fantastic stay, the place was very clean and exactly as described. Very close to metro, Eastern market and many great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
Kirk was very helpful with information and providing a parking permit. The house is super close to a metro stop, grocery stores, and great restaurants. Would definitely recommend!
Nothing like Independence Day in the Nation's Capital!
Great start to summer vacation - great location, great hosts, great rental! Walking distance to the Capital, White House, Mall, museums, and memorials. We parked the car and didn't drive until we left. Good restaurants nearby but the kitchen has everything you need and the back porch is great for a late night drink. We'll stay here on our next visit to DC.
Beautiful street and great location very close to the subway. Trader Joe’s was right there by the subway stop and Eastern market. The space was nice and comfortable. The only thing that wasn’t 5 stars was the dishwasher didn’t work the best.
We spent a week exploring DC and this location was perfect. Easy walk to Capitol Hill, metro station about a block away, and plenty of restaurants & coffee shops close by. The house is charming & comfortable. The owner is exceptionally accommodating.
Wonderful property, much better than hotel, spacious, clean, great location so close to metro. Host provided amazing communication and information…would certainly stay again if the need arose.
In terms of location and amenities, this property is an excellent choice for tourists planning to visit the Smithsonian Museums and other sites on or near the National Mall.
The property had all the amenities to make our stay very enjoyable plus the location was incredible. Access to the Metro and local businesses was so convenient and really enhanced our visit. We look forward to visiting 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.
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!
Thank you for your phone call and for sharing that you had a wonderful stay with us during your visit to Washington, DC. You had stated that you chose our guest house because of all the FIVE-STAR reviews we've received, so we are curious why you gave only a four-star rating with the comment "no real problems."
You didn't tell us of ANY problems you were having aside from you getting lost upon arrival in town, not knowing what buttons to push to make the television work, and not reading our instructions on how to lock your door.
We thrive on the FIVE-STAR reviews we earn through accommodating our guests and making sure you are as comfortable as possible. We regret that you had any problems at all, and hope that next time you visit we earn another FIVE-STAR review from you...
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.
The listing is 1000% accurate, and the reviews about about the host Kirk are even more accurate. Kirk is very hospitable very knowledgeable about the area and things you want to do and how to do them. Very clean nice little cottage feel, steps to the metro to get anywhere you need to go. Nice area good restaurant. It was very quiet when we stayed
This home was better than expected and the location was absolutely perfect! We were by everything we needed...food, grocery and the Metrorail was a 2 min walk which we used everday. Once on that all the attractions were just a short trip away. The host of this home was very responsive and we met him and is genuinely one of the nicest people we have ever met. If you are going to DC this is the place to stay!!! We really cant thank this host enough for our wonderful stay!
Great location-near stores, restaurants, parks, transit. Beautiful property -well decorated, and nicely equipped. Communications with the owner/manager was great. I will stay again.
