About this property
Chic 2BR Loft with Balcony . Stone Walls . Walk to Everything in Casco Viejo
###This is NOT an INSTANT BOOK property, please send us a little message to know more about who we will be hosting, composition of your party and what brings you here to us. VRBO no longer has written reviews but only star ratings...so a little info makes us more comfortable...thank you for your understanding.
Choosing a property with “Patty’s Casitas” means a well taken care home (we also have a have a studio in the same building #223384 and in Amador by the Causeway a 1 bedroom + 1 office with Twin bed #2464014 + a 1 bedroom in the same building #116555) , responsive and dedicated hosts (who are also the owners) and the possibility of a full rounded experience with offering of airport transfers & tours.
Come and enjoy Panama by staying in this gem - best location - around the corner from “El Rey” supermarket…Casco’s only grocery store!
This is a very unique loft style property featuring 15 foot high ceilings, skylights, a large mezzanine bedroom with beautiful wooden floors & oversize custom made wardrobe with its bright en-suite bathroom, the bedroom overlooks the living-room.
The nice modern American kitchen offers a breakfast bar and opens onto the living/dining room that leads to a lovely balcony with views to a wide quiet street with colorful 'bougainvillea'.
It is a gorgeous apartment which benefits from all the colonial charm: iron work & Calicanto walls (original stone wall from the 17th Century) all around the condo with a great homey feeling.
The condo is fitted with high end amenities, a phone with free local calls and also the use of a cell phone during your stay.
LOCATION:
It is next to the famous “La Merced” Church which façade was transported stone by stone after the 1st city (Panama La Vieja) was destroyed…the building was actually the living quarters of the monks;-)
The condo is steps away from restaurants, bars & cafés, the famous Plaza Cathedral with the Museum of the canal & the up-coming Plaza Herrera which will soon host 2 boutique Hotels.
NEIGHBORHOOD:
Casco Viejo (also known as Casco Antiguo) is an effervescent neighborhood with its beautiful restored colonial buildings, home to the President Palace, the French Embassy & a gorgeous promenade with awesome views to the city's skyline & the Amador Causeway (entrance of the Panama Canal).
It also offers fine dining & entertainment with the National Theatre, great outdoor cafés for a nice drink on one of the charming plazas...an enjoyment by itself!
Its perfect location between down-town & Amador, a 5 to 10 Min’s taxi ride, makes it a conveniently central “pied-a-terre”!
Looking forward welcoming you, Patty & Rudy
*************************************
For your convenience we also offer airport transfers & tours and can welcome you in 5 languages: Spanish, English, French, Italian and German.
Please note that it is not recommended for people with knee injuries as there is no elevator & 2 flights of stairs.
P.S. we also have a studio in the same building & a 1 & 2-bedroom condo in Amador by the Causeway (entrance of the Panama Canal).
P.S.2 Pictures were taken by Rudy...no staging...and he is no professional photographer so this is what you get...no tricks!!!

Listing and pictures were accurate. Patty and Rudy were excellent hosts, friendly, accessible and extremely accommodating. The unit was centrally located with easy access to everything in “Old Town Panama”.Don’t forget to take advantage of Rudy’s tours and airport shuttles which were also well organized with condo pickup. Highly recommended and would definitely go back!

It was our pleasure hosting your group! All the best and happy travels, Patty & Rudy
The hosts were absolutely fantastic and very responsive in communication. We had an unexpected injury occur during our trip and the hosts gave us excellent recommendations for medical care. In addition, Rudy is a licensed guide and our trip with him to the Embera Village was without a doubt the most memorable and wonderful organized tour we have taken, anywhere. The accomodations were excellent and exactly as pictured and described by the hosts. The location in Casco Viejo was great and made it very easy to walk throughout the area.

Matt...muchas gracias for taking the time to write up your lovely review and we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us and the tour with Rudy...you'll have to come back to enjoy some more! Always happy to be of help! All the best, Patty & Rudy
The obvious pride/care that Patty shows/gives are evident in the extras in this lovely apartment , ie the art work, the extra toothbrushes/paste in the bathrooms, the sparkling clean coffee pot, the yummy snacks on the counter and the list could go on. The property sits on the best street in the area and everything so accessible. It is delightful, comfortable and the balcony is the best for am coffee.

We enjoyed having you and hope to welcome you back! Really happy you have enjoyed your stay with us! Hasta la proxima, Patty & Rudy
Patty and Rudy were remarkable hosts. The loft was exceptional and located in a superb location. We were within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, rooftop bars and all the other delights that Casco Viejo has to offer. We took advantage of using Rudy as our travel guide on two different days, one being a boat tour of the Panama Canal with monkeys and the other being a beach trip to Isla Grande. Both days were excellent and we highly recommend Rudy's services.

Happy you have enjoyed your stay with us at the loft and the tours with Rudy. Thank you for staying with us and hopefully we will see you again! Saludos, Patty & Rudy
We loved staying at this condo. Perfect location for exploring Casco Viejo, plenty of room for our family of 4 (including 2 teenage boys), comfortable beds, well-appointed bathrooms and thoughtful pre-stocked snacks/beverages for the travel weary. Patty provided a great list of recommended restaurants and was incredibly prompt with returning emails before and during our stay. We also worked with her husband for an airport transfer and tour of Panama City/Canal and the surrounding area. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Gracias for staying with us and happy you enjoyed your short stay. All the best, Patty & Rudy
We had the best time in Panama thanks to Patty and Rudy. They were the most gracious hosts. The condo is so clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient to walking to any type of restaurant you could want and there is a grocery store very close by too. We took several tours with Rudy and always felt safe and had a great time while learning so much about the panama history and culture. I highly recommend staying with Patty and booking all tours with Rudy. Thank you both so much for a wonderful time!

About the host
Hosted by Patty & Rudy
We are an international couple (German/Belgium/Panamanian/Italian)who after living in many different countries decided to call Panama home. We enjoy good food, tennis, traveling & meeting people from all over the world…hence the choice of making hosting (degree in Hotel Management) and touring (licensed & rated on TripAdvisor) our business...you couldn’t be in better hands:-)
Let us show you our Panama by given you inside tips on our favorite restaurants & places not to miss…our priority is to make your Panama adventure an unforgettable one by providing top-notch, spotless accommodation in the most sought-after neighborhoods…and most importantly we are always available for any questions you might have during your stay.
Besides this property we also have a studio in the same building + a 1 bedroom condo in Amador by the Panama Canal & a gorgeous mountain Villa retreat with private swimming-pool & amazing views ***only 50 Minutes from the city***…a quiet Haven for those of you seeking total relaxation!
Hasta Pronto!!! Your hosts: Patty & Rudy
Why they chose this property
We originally bought this property for us to live in however since we had so much success renting our studio located on the same floor we decided to postpone our move until retirement and in the mean time have guests enjoy this wonderful space;-)
We love Casco Viejo – it is such a vibrant neighborhood and has some of the best restaurants in town...not to mention that it is fascinating to wonder about in its little colonial streets admiring the buildings' amazing architectures. Its central location between the banking district (2 min’s drive) and the Amador Causeway (5 min’s drive) makes it a perfect vacation spot. It offers lots of entertainments like the national Theater and all the different venues: the Jazz and Music festival. You’ll find a variety of little shops with beautiful Panamanian handcrafts and every Sunday the flea market. Casco Viejo is a great walking neighborhood home to the Presidential Palace, the Mayor’s Office (in our street) and the French Embassy.
What makes this property unique
Great balcony with a view (not onto the neighboors!) and the double height ceilings with its original 'calicanto' walls!
