Arsanas

A very comfortable and convenient apartment.

Pros: The location is excellent, close to shops, bars, restaurants and the boats for the beaches. There is an excellent bakery a couple of minutes' walk away. The apartment is comfortable and very well furnished. The shower is very efficient. The host was particularly generous with supplies - lots of bottled water, honey, butter, jam, kitchen towel, wine. The shaded outside terrace is a great place to sit and have breakfast or a drink. We have been coming to Symi for more than ten years, and have stayed a number of different apartments. This was one of the very best.

We loved Symi and Arsanas was a great location

Pros: Our host was really helpful and gave us great recommendations - we had a great stay.

Cons: zero

Pros: Perfect location, very clean, A/C, very responsive host. The apartment had everything we needed, there was nothing we found lacking and the host was lovely.

Cons: Nothing to dislike, it was as described

Lovely classy and convenient accommodation in the Harbour area.

Pros: A very classy renovation of an older Symi property in harbour area. Everything was super tasteful and top quality, with a lovely bathroom, shower and spacious kitchen. We appreciated the Korres shower gel etc. Everything worked perfectly and was clearly top spec. The owner was super helpful, very responsive and accommodating. There was quite a big courtyard in the front of the house with a table table and chairs – good to sit at for breakfast and when we got back from swimming. Very convenient location – near all the restaurants in the harbour area, the boats and there was a great little bakery a couple of minutes away.

Cons: We missed having sea views and overlooking the harbour, which we’ve had in the past in the higher village area. But this apartment was lovely and spacious and met our need very well for easy access to the harbour area for someone with restricted mobility. The courtyard looked out onto the children’s playground, which we enjoyed (though may not have been so enthusiastic if we were primary school teachers looking for a break from children! ).

Pros: Well stocked and even had extras which were a welcome treat

Lovely central accommodation

Pros: Lovely apartment, good facilities,good location, very clean with lots of extras such as water,wine,coffee,olive oil,herbs,nespresso capsules, cleaning products etc. Comfy bed. Two outdoor areas one of which was shaded so you can always sit outside.

Cons: We did not realise that there was no cleaning or sheet/towel changes included and we had to do this ourselves. Didn't mind having to do this but would have liked to have known this in advance. We only found out by accident when the lady owner happened to pass by one day. Would have thought that her husband could have mentioned this when we arrived. A light over the dressing table would be good as would an oven.

A wonderful place for discovering Symi.

Pros: The apartment is huge, plenty of facilities (fully equipped kitchen, drying rack, terrace and plenty of other quality of life facilities). The hosts are amazing. Great communication and wonderful hospitality. The island is a piece of paradise. The location is 4 minutes away from the port, and there you have access to all the beaches around the island. You are also close to good tavernas, grocery stores and a very nice bakery.

Cons: It can be quite loud during the late evening and night. There is a children's playground nearby, and we thought they wouldn't be playing and making noise at 1:00 AM. We were proven wrong, so bare that in mind. Other than that, you can hear the occasional moped or car engine noise, but that is not an issue.

Kindness and really good quality-price balance

Pros: The property is really close to the port, useful when approaching the island and comfortable accommodation close to nice bars and restaurants.

Beautiful, cozy, central property with easy access.

Pros: Great location, close to everything. Good sized bathroom, so many complimentary kitchen items, jam, honey, water, coffee pods all you need to begin your stay and not be rushing to the supermarket. Comfortable bed, plenty of hanging space, ample towels and great advice on tours, beaches, dining options. Ease of access compared to many properties with numerous stairs or steps. Ample air conditioning for kitchen and bedroom. Caring host who really wants you to enjoy your stay. Greatly appreciated the pickup and drop off at ferry port and saving us when we locked ourselves out at night!!

Cons: Not much, we did miss a lounge but understood it was not included within this cozy property. Additional directors chairs provided for outdoor table were great. Very minor noise from next door restaurant, the kids playground as previously noted can be a little loud at times but would not stop us revisiting.

Great place to enjoy Symi

Pros: Great location close to the port, shops and restaurants. Lovely renovated apartment. Host was friendly and helpful with great suggestions for activities to enjoy a wonderful stay in Symi. We didn’t want to leave.
