From the moment we booked the place, to the moment Filippa ran after us in the street after checkout to give us a tip we had left them (saying it was unnecessary and her pleasure), every aspect of the experience was great! We wrote Filippa letting her know we had arrived into town, and though we didn't expect to be checked in early, she had no problem meeting us when we wrote.
The apartment is as beautiful as it looks in the photos! And I do not think I've ever seen a cleaner vacation rental! Spotless.
Everything from the location to the myriad of welcome treats and gifts, this was a perfect AirBnB experience.
Filippa's son even dashed down the street following our car to show us the best place to park!
If we had to complain about anything (and this is a stretch -certainly not a big deal) is that the water pressure is not quite strong enough for the fancy shower column they've installed in the bathroom. But, even that was fine. The air conditioners were already on and the apartment cooled upon our arrival (how many times have to checked in to a sweltering place, after walking in high heat and humidity, waiting for the apartment to cool down? This was a wonderful change from that).
We would recommend the Mirabilia Arab House to anyone looking for a large, comfortable apartment, and terrific hospitality, in the heart of the kasbah of Mazara del Vallo.
