Location
Disappointed not to have a balcony which had been confirmed in the booking confirmation.
Owner apologetic and left biscuits in the room..
4.5
I liked the location, not too far away but not too close to the main area, literally on the beach. The view from the balcony was nice and there were wooden doors and windows that make the room completely dark so you are not disturbed by the light if you want to stay in bed late. The lady cleaning and maintaining the place was very kind and sweet even though she doesn't speak English. She was just great! Cleaning, washing, tidying rooms every day, spotless. She even left some cake and biscuits on a few occasions. The room has basic kitchenware and my room had two fridges which was very convenient. The bed and the mattress were comfortable and because I was myself only, the size of the room was good, not sure if there are two people though but it's okay to meet basic needs when you are on a climbing holiday.
I usually don't leave negative feedback, trying to be considerate and understanding but this is not possible to be ignored.
I was very disappointed on arrival. I arrived around 6-7PM. There was no sign with the name and even the taxi driver was confused and went around to ask if he brought me to the right place. Once I found it and walked towards the building I saw a sight "Office" on one of the windows, it was closed with curtains on and the opening time written was until lunch. Nobody was there PM, nobody met me.
The studios are attached to a restaurant, I went and asked and a staff member, obviously informed by the manager, told me to get myself into room 3, on the ground floor. They told me I'll be staying there for two nights and then I'll be moved to another room which I initially had booked. I booked a studio with a balcony and view for 14 days on Booking.com more than six months ago. Understandable, I wasn't very happy. I called on the phone number provided on my booking, succeeded after a few trials and I was told by a lady the same information about me staying for two days downstairs until my room gets vacant because at the moment it's occupied. No apologies, I just had been informed.
I didn't have much choice, I was too tired to argue or to find another place so I decided to stay
Later the lady cleaning the place told me that was the manager I was talking with and she is her sister, but I never even met or saw her.
After I moved to my proper room, apart from the good things I mentioned above, I found out that the noise from the kitchen of the restaurant was almost constant. It was banging and knocking most evenings until 10PM but some evenings even later.
Also there were so many mosquitoes, I had bites all over, everywhere. I counted ten bites on my face only when I went home and I have photos of them.

We (Jo+me) stayed here in April for one week and enjoyed our time. The apartment immediately gives you the feeling of being on holiday. Kitchen is basic equipped and good enough to cook a proper dinner. Our room had a big closet, which is nice. Infront of our studio we had a little sitting area for us. Perfect for having breakfast outside!
Myrties is a small village. You will only find restaurants there. But next to Myrties is Masouri, which you reach in a 5min walk. There are small supermarkets, little shops for climbers and tourists and a lot of places to rent cars, scooters, Atvs. You can manage moving around by walking, but to see the island I would recommend to rent a scooter for at least a day. It is about 10€/day at all the rental places. From Myrties leaves a boat every half an hour to the the small island Telendos, which is 10min away. It costs 3€ per way and Telendos offers climbing routes and a hiking trail.
Soo, all in all we loved our stay on Kalymnos and in Avra Studios. In the evenings you can watch the sunset either from little stairs at the sea infront of the house or on the way to Masouri at some of the many restaurant places.

The studios are very close to the climbing area, which is a good starting point for many trekking excursions, with a breathtaking sea view and plenty of room for car parking (more precious than gold in Kalymnos). You can appreciate the legendary Greek hospitality at Avra Studios: the owner Ms Katarina came daily to clean and make up our room and sometimes brought us her homemade pita bread and Christmas cookies. She was very supportive throughout our stay and made us feel genuinely welcome.
The rooms are far too small for a winter sojourn, but maybe in summer, you spend most time outside, and the situation is different. The furniture and equipment, although fully functional, are "minimal", to say the least. The kitchenette and the shower need a significant upgrade.

Good location
Some noise from the restaurant. Confusion when I checked out with trying to charge my credit card. Had to phone booking.com as I paid in full before stay.
4.5
Incredible position right in front of the sea! The room was cute and comfortable and had everything which was advertised
Unfortunately many mosquitoes during the night. Also, some basics like hand soap or dish soap and a sponge were lacking. However, considering also the price I would definitely recommend it!

The owner is super sweet and friendly. The view is amazing. Also the place is very calm. A perfect location for some quality time. Thanks again!

The host was really kind and it felt familiar to stay there. I had a great balkony with sea view and directed to the island Telendos with amazing sunsets! I had a good time over there. There are a lot of restaurants in the area and you have a supermarket and waterstation close by. Good for persons that want it a little bit quieter. Climbing sektors are in a distance of 15-30mins

I little bit uncomfy bed.

The hosts were lovely and so were the sweet treats. The room was cleaned and linen changed regularly. The outside patio of room 6 had a lovely grape vine canopy.
The apartment is attached to Smugglers Restaurant but wasn't noisy at night. And the white snapper in the restaurant was delicious.
The fridge didn't get very cold. It was quite noisy too.
4.5
Next to the sea and good location on the island. The restaurant staff below the hotel is very friendly and helpful. The mattresses are comfortable and the place is quite quiet. The equipment is outdated but does the job.
We never saw the owner of the hotel, the restaurant employees helped us. When we arrived we were given the choice between a room without a window or one with a tiny balcony (so no view of the sea but of the swimming pool of the hotel next door) because we had booked our stay via booking. A few cockroaches and no wifi during the stay.
4.5
Little nice studio. Very clean. Just near by seafront and good restaurants ( I warmly recommand La Couzina by the sea). The owner was really nice and let us checked out late to be confortable taking our boat at night. Really thank you for that !
4.5
Great location near ferry to Telendos. About 15 minute walk into town. Staff were super friendly. Local cats came for food but you could pick them up and stroke them and they loved it Prrrrrr! Good shower in the evening but a bit dodgy for hot water some mornings. A real bargain at the price!!
A bit short of stuff in kitchen like no bottle opener or corkscrew and limitted knoves and stuff.
