I stayed two nights in Aiden's house with my husband and 3 children. The house is small but very charming, and really close to the waterfront/shops/restaurants and just a short walk from where the ferries arrive. A friend picket us up and walk with us to the house. We hired a car for one day to see the rest of the island and the remote beaches, if you're travelling with children I really would recommend that. We had a really, really, really nice time in Symi and Aiden's house.
