I don't think "nice" or "funny" really do it. Neither does "sympathy", which in Spanish would be something like compasion.
Please help.

I am leaning towards "charming", because it seems to me that it is nicer than just plain "nice".
"Charming" would literally be "encantador", which is more than "simpatico", though.
Thank you for all your answers.

There is no straightfoward "one thing equals the other" word in Spanish. This is a portmanteau word, meaning that it contains several meanings or flavors within it.
It can mean nice, caring, sympathetic, amiable, like-minded, having converging thoughts, ideas and interests. Basically it means having a lot in common so that friendship and getting along is easy.
Cheers, K

Every time the Bible records the name or formula associated with an actual baptism in the New Testament church, it describes the name Jesus. All five such accounts occur in the Book of Acts, the history book of the early church. It records that the following people were baptized in Jesus' name. The Jews: "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2:38). The Samaritans: "They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus' (Acts 8:16). The Gentiles: "And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord" (Acts 10:48). (The earliest Greek manuscripts that we have say, "In the name of Jesus Christ," as do most versions today.) The disciples of John (rebaptized): "They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 19:5). The Apostle Paul: "Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16). Moreover, the Epistles contain a number of references or allusions to baptism in Jesus' name. [See Romans 6:3-4; I Corinthians 1:13; 6:11; Galatians 3:27 ; Colossians 2:12; James 2:7]

Simpatico means kind or caring(carinoso), but is nicer than just plain "nice".

Somebody who is "simpatico" is personable, a person that has good rapport with others and shows good will and intentions.
When someone feels "simpatia" toward someone, it means that they have a positive feeling or good will toward that someone.

Simpatia can be sympathy, understanding, compassion, kindness, consideration, empathy, fellow feeling, etc. (any of those...)
Simpatico can be nice, funny, polite, considerate, friendly, courteous, charming, kind, sympathetic, warm-hearted, cordial, respectable, etc. (any of those...)

Besides nice (which it really translates to), you could say understanding or corteous.

Empathetic is closest, or "like-minded." "Close" (pronounced clohss) has been used. It depends on the context, like any word. "Kind" might work.
