Magazine St Gem

The photos and description are all accurate. Beautiful property in the best location to explore Magazine Street and the Garden District. What isn’t described are the fine details that make this property stand out. The bedding and bath linens are super high quality, as are the appliances, dishware, and furnishings. The furniture is functional, comfortable and well done. The front porch overlooking Magazine St is a great shady spot and the huge, private rooftop ‘patio/yard’ is a fun place to enjoy the sun or evenings under the stars. Our host, Ian, was super responsive and helpful. This would be an ideal rental for two couples as each bedroom has a full bathroom. Highly recommend.

Wonderful penthouse

Villa Vici is spacious and was perfect for our stay (myself my daughter and under 1yo grandbaby). Access was a breeze, penthouse was sparkling clean, and we loved the various sitting areas. Overlooking the activity of Magazine was fun, and the back turf outdoor area was fabulous for sun bathing and hanging out. The beds are super comfy, and bedding / towels are lovely. We will stay here again.

Best VRBO in NOLA

We stay every time we are in town (several times/year) and our experience is always wonderful. The location is unbeatable, the unit is very well decorated and very safe. Ian is the best VRBO host I've ever interacted with. He is very responsive and accommodating. Definitely recommend Villa Vici!

We just love this VRBO, it's safe, beautiful, and in a great location. The penthouse is easy to get to and in walking distance of many of the best restaurants in Nola including Shaya, Le Petite Grocery and Pomelo. Ian is great and so easy to communicate with. We will always stay here when we are in town.

Thanksgiving

I stayed in Villa Vicci over Thanksgiving. I had family and friends over and was able to host a wonderful dinner and day together. The property is very nice and functional. Well stocked. Comfortable. Casual Elagance would describe it. They area is fun to walk around with excellent restaurants nearby. Ian was an excellent communicator and host. I will definitely use again when in Nola.

Wonderful!

Beautiful property in a great location to shop on Magazine and a quick drive to the Quarter. Ian was an exceptional host. He was always available if needed and also had drinks, snacks, and coffee for us in the house when we arrived which allowed us to settle in before having to hit the grocery. Plenty of space for a family of 4. One of our best experiences!

Best place in New Orleans

What a beautiful home! Ian thought of everything to make our stay perfect. The bed is probably the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on, the bathroom is a spa and the kitchen is equipped with high end everything. We’ve stayed in many rentals and my husband commented that “everything worked the way it’s supposed to” which has never happened at any other rental we have stayed at. I was concerned that the bedrooms would get a lot of street noise, etc but the whole unit is very quiet. I was a hero with our group because I chose this place. 🙂
