Papikinou Studios

Spacious, clean room with a pleasant outdoor area and easy parking. Friendly owner who provided fruit, water and juice. Easy check in. Quiet. Short walk to the beach and O Hamos. Air conditioning worked well. Hot water. Comfortable bed.

Would highly recommend having your own form of transport if you stay here but that is the best way to explore the island anyway.

Such a wonderful stay at Papikinou Studios! Our host was exceptional - he left us figs, let us do washing and gave us fresh towels. The location was great - right near a beach and a 20 min walk into the main town with parking right out from the accomodation. He pre set up the sofa bed for us and we had a lovely room with a balcony.

I was a bit worried in the lead up that I hadn’t had any comms but after I messaged he advised what room we were in and we had no problem at all accessing the accomodation.

I really enjoyed the way the space was designed. It felt very Greek! There was a beautiful deck outside with so much sun, which was lovely. The room itself wasn't very extensive, but the location makes up for it! I found the host to be very friendly and would stay here again. Although in places it felt a bit rundown, I liked it, as I felt I was getting a slightly more authentic experience!

It did get cleaned every day, but unfortunately, a lot of the time, things were left quite wet, or I would find wet tea towels in places. I also asked to have my washing cleaned, but that didn't happen. Overall, nothing too extreme, and I found that if you have a bit of whimsy, it's truly a remarkable stay. There are definitely some areas they could improve on, though. The check-in and check-out process is a bit complicated, as the host does not reply to messages and can only be reached easily by direct call. It would be great for the facility if the host were easier to contact, so checking in and checking out wouldn't be so confusing. I was waiting for around an hour to check in - in this case, I truly didn't mind as I was stoked to be in Greece, but I can definitely appreciate how, if you are in a rush, it would be very inconvenient.

Once I managed to communicate my arrival time (night ferry, late arrival), checkin worked out ok. The host was waiting in the house with the key, I just had to call him and he came out

Difficult to communicate with host that speaks no english
