Staying here was an absolute highlight of our trip. The property is a breathtaking 1800s mansion that immediately impresses — it’s the kind of place that wows everyone in your group the moment you walk in. And beyond the stunning architecture, it was spotlessly clean throughout our stay.What truly set this experience apart was the owners. Their communication was exceptional — incredibly responsive, warm, and genuinely helpful from booking through checkout. You could tell they really care about their guests.If you’re visiting New Orleans and want a stay that’s equal parts history, beauty, and hospitality, look no further. Highest possible recommendation!
Beautiful historic NOLA home. Incredible architectural features. Lots and lots of space.Very clean and comfortable.Hosts are kind and very accommodating.Highly recommend for a true New Orleans experience !!
The hosts were great-- very welcoming, helpful, and accessible when needed. The house is amazing--beautiful with a spooky undertone which was the perfect setting for a New Orleans visit! There is so much cool stuff to do in New Orleans and a part of me just wanted to stay and hang out in this incredible house. The house has been featured in several movies, including Deep Water and Ben Affleck, who stars in the movie, walked on the same floors you'll walk on-- pretty cool!
The historic massive house was lovely. The hosts were extremely communicative and had amazing local recommendations. But our group appreciated the pool the most. While staying in NOLA in the middle of June, it was the perfect mid-day reprieve from the heat. Highly recommend this property!
We had a wonderful stay at this is unique home for a girls weekend. The hosts were kind, helpful and responsive, I highly recommend this house, great location.
This historic home is a retreat. It is quiet, calming, well appointed, and charming in its effort to maintain its original construction and style. The home had ample space for our extended family gathering and allowed privacy for each of us as needed. Our host, Will, was attentive and worked hard to be helpful and make our stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. This home is an experience in and of itself, but it is also situated to enjoy the many and varied options in activity and food that New Orleans has to offer.
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!
This property is super cool! Was great to learn about its history directly from the owners during check in. The pool was such a great bonus. If you want to stay somewhere historic in New Orleans this is a great option and the hosts were so friendly! The location is perfect for a family, close enough to all the action with a 5 min Uber ride but in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We loved it!
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.
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
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!
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 unforgettable trip to New Orleans thanks to this incredible home and generous host. Banks immediately made us feel welcome and was always available to answer our questions and offer recommendations. The location was perfect. It was a close walk to great cafes and shops. The house itself was beautiful, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed cooking meals in the amazing kitchen and eating them on the lovely porch. If we go back to NOLA we would definitely stay at this house again!
William and Jules provided our family with an excellent stay in Nola. Their home is filled with furniture, fixtures and all sorts of unique details collected to create a one of a kind stay. Various parts of the home are a work in process, but that did not take away from what we found to be a comfortable and unique environment in a safe and remarkably convenient neightborhood. We look forward to returning.
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.
Such a wonderful experience provided by our hosts. From the moment we were welcomed by William to the lovely flowers and home baked chocolate cake by Patsy waiting for us in the kitchen, we knew we’d selected the right home for this special occasion. The home has character and charm and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. This house truly is a piece of old New Orleans but with the comforts of the modern day. I can’t recommend this house or the hosts enough. A solid 10 in my book.
So much more than a house! Will and Jules are generous hosts who have created such a special and beautiful New Orleans experience for their guests - it was the perfect home for a 4 night getaway with friends for a big bday. The architecture, beautiful interior design, antiques + treasures, and collected, creative quirks were so appreciated. Lots of hang out zones, comfy beds, and attention to detail that feels more boutique hotel than I’ve seen in any rental! There is so much to do and see within walking distance and everything else is a short ride away. We packed so much in 4 days! They provided tons of great recs for food, drinks, and activities to be sure your NOLA stay is special. Perfect stay. Would definitely return!
