We had a family getaway and this property was amazing! Comfortable, historic home with beautiful modern upgrades was wonderful. Great location for all the things we wanted to see and do, and owners were absolutely the definition of Southern hospitality. New Orleans never disappoints and Urbania House was dreamy!

Great experience, will be back

Loved staying at this historic home. It was everything I thought it would be. Big, beautiful and unique. The hosts Jules and William were awesome. Very hospitable and kind. I would recommend this wonderful house to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful , unique New Orleans home. It made our trip with family so much better.

A quintessential New Orleans home in a great location. It was clean and spacious for our group of 7. This will be our go to rental for future visits.

Banks and Jules thank you for the use of your beautiful home. It was a perfect home for our crew and walking distance to any where. Loved it will be back

The most beautiful property with the kindest hosts. Will definitely be staying here again!

Great home for 3-5 couples to spend a long weekend in and about NOLA. Great walking access to the FQ and garden district. Loved sitting on the front and back porches in the breeze. Loved the history of the home. Great owner hospitality and restaurant recommendations. Thanks Banks and Jules!

Love the historical elements of the house. Great set up for a group of friends. Great house for the Nola experience in a great neighborhood.

William and Jules are the best hosts! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Checking and out were so easy. The property was wonderful and so comfortable. The neighborhood is walkable to shops and restaurants. Would 100% stay here again! If you are planning a group trip this is where you need to stay!

We had a wonderful stay and the house was everything we expected and more. We were looking for a quintessential NOLA house with a great location and we got it. The house was well equipped, spacious and the owners were wonderful.

The property is an antique Greek Revival that has been used in major movies taking place in New Orleans. It is great to be immersed in this historic place while bathing in all that the city as to offer. Host were wonderfully accommodating and available.

We had a great time in this house. Everything was super clean, beds comfortable and the kitchen had everything you’ll need. The house itself was amazing, plenty of inside and outside spaces to hang out. Great location, not too far from everywhere we wanted to go and plenty of places to walk to as well

We had a group in town for a wedding. The wedding events took most of our time but when we had time at the house we really enjoyed the pool. It was a very hot week so taking a dip and catching up with friends was great. The owner was very communicative, responsive and gave us tons of great nearby recommendations. The location can’t be beat.

Magical property! We very much enjoyed our time here. It is, as advertised, a work in progress but that only added to its charm. The back yard at night, with the pool and string lights on, is so lovely. Beds are very comfortable! House was equipped with everything we needed! Can’t wait to come back

Great property, you certainly get what you pay for. The house is a work in progress and is meticulously detailed with the finest architectural design and finishes. There are rooms you will not be able to use yet but it doesn’t take away from the utility of the home. The pool is outstanding. It is not heated but was perfect temperature in late May. Each morning I’d walk down to local coffee shop and I got to know the locals who told me to come back next year and stop by. The location can’t be beat. The kitchen is probably my favorite part of the house. If you have a group with more than three couples you’ll need to arrange who will sleep where and if you have young kids then you may need to keep them in main house as you will need to go outside to visit the ancillary bedrooms in the servant quarters that include the kitchen. Great for entertaining, interesting history and my kids LOVED that movies were filmed here and it truly had the spooky mansion vibe with the gas lit lanterns constantly running. The bathroom in main house was my wife’s favorite attraction and even a view to downtown to boot. Will be coming back every chance we get. Our pictures were stunning.

We had a great stay at Urbania House with our children and my parents. The house is in the process of being restored, but it is fully livable and the ongoing restoration did not impact our stay at all. It’s a beautiful and unique property with tons of history but also every modern comfort. Our kids loved the pool, and the layout of the property worked out well with our family having the “main house” and my parents having their own “in-laws suite” in the second house. We’d definitely recommend a stay here.

The house is still undergoing renovation and we were well aware of it, so no surprises at all. The home is so full of history and we come almost feel the history come to life. William (Banks) was an amazing host-greeted us at his lovely home, showed us around and welcomed us with cheese, wine and fruit. Communication was seamless and the check out process was the easiest we have ever experienced with a VBRO. The location was within walking distance to almost every where we wanted to go. The pool was a godsend too for our little kids as well as the big ones. I highly recommend this property, especially if you enjoy living in the middle of history!

We couldn’t be happier with our stay. The hosts were so amazing, and the charm of this home was pure NOLA. We will definitely stay here again.

The house is very beautiful, and we absolutely enjoyed the 1-week stay. The beautiful antique furniture and decors made our stay even more fulfilling. The owner couple is so friendly and easy to communicate with for any reason as related to the home. The location is near Magazine street where there are many great restaurants and cafes are located. The Saline Swimming Pool was a great treat as well. Plus, the owners gave us awesome suggestions into local places for great food within walking distance to their beautiful home in Lower Garden District. Thank you very much for your fantastic hospitality! Keiko & Bill

Perfect for a big group. Best neighborhood, amazing hosts, stunning and uniquely New Orleans home.

Wow, wow, wow...! I can't believe places like this can be stayed in. This house was the most amazing lucky find and was the perfect place for a true New Orleans vacation. My family visited in February and could not have been more impressed. The home is really one of a kind- absolutely gorgeous and original and funky and tasteful. We spoke to the owners and it has such a unique history. The couple has brought it back from abandoned to fabulous. We found out that it has been in numerous movies and it certainly makes sense. As soon as you are inside it feels like you are in another time or in the countryside of France. Super high ceilings, ancient original floors, amazing funky antiques. Fantastic southern porches and galleries. The original kitchen is to die for with awesome carved stone sinks and a french stove..The antiques and furniture are just as beautiful as the grounds. The outdoor space is enormous and private with the prettiest pool. The location in the Lower Garden District is great. We were able to walk down Magazine Street and be at restaurants, bars, and local shops within minutes and a very cute park only a block away. Communication was easy, the hosts were always available for questions and throughout the stay, they remained helpful and gracious to us. The home is huge and the couples restoration of the home is ongoing but any unfinished details did not detract from the experience at all, in fact it was interesting to see some of the "process" as it was all being done by hand...we felt as if we were taking part in the story of the home. It's all very restrained and tasteful. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for a totally New Orleans place to stay with real character! You will not be disappointed...It is a true, rare gem!
