About this property

Patty’s Stunning 2-Bdr Loft with Balcony in Historical 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, 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.

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!!!

Fabulous apartment and hosts

The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. We loved having a place to hang, cook, take a quick nap. The apartment was extremely clean and had every amenity you would need. The beds were comfortable. Also Patty and Her husband were wonderful. Extremely helpful, prompt, etc. Highly recommend.

Best host in best location

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!

Wonderful Apartment in Casco Viejo

Patty’s apartment was an outstanding choice. The location was excellent and within walking distance of many sites, restaurants and cafes. Her home was exceptionally clean and Patty, herself, was a delight to work with. She was incredibly responsive and helpful with recommendations.

Excellent!

Suite VERY well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials. Location was quiet and perfect! Conveniences, ATM, shops, coffee, wide choice of restaurants all near. We always felt safe.Two sets of stairs to climb with well functioning A/C as your reward! The suite and building is historic and beautiful. Start your stay with a walking tour with Rudy for a great lay of the land. We did 3 different tours with him and he was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable. Communication with Patty was excellent and responses very prompt from first enquiry to after departure. She will organize or even customize your tours and airport transfers. Patty and Rudy provide stellar accommodation and service so you can relax and enjoy your time in Panama City!

Truly a home away from home. Location is perfect. Anywhere you want to go is a walk away while staying at Casco Viejo. The size of the home for 5 was perfect. The space is very well designed. Anything you may need is there. To have Rudy pick us up from airport was so helpful and anxiety free. Patty is super responsive, provides valuable information, and just a pleasure to communicate with. So grateful we found them! Don't hesitate to book with them and this house. A 5 star experience!

Fantastic place to explore Casco Viejo

Patty and Rudy were the finest hosts! We arranged for Rudy to pick us up and he was there waiting for us as promised. The apartment is spacious and beautifully decorated. Patty and Rudy were always available to answer questions or make recommendations. We booked several tours with Rudy and it was reassuring to have a native speaker help us out. On the Embera Village tour, many of the tribe members knew Rudy by name. He translated for us and gave us a great feel for their village, people and customs. We cannot recommend them ENOUGH! Fantastic experience!

Absolutely Incredible Apartment in Perfect Location

Patty’s apartment in the heart of Casco Viejo was everything my friend and I were hoping for - do not look further, book it! We stayed one week and wished we could’ve stayed longer. You cannot beat the location - walking distance to everything, but not in the noisy part of the night life so every night after wandering around Casco Viejo (THE place to be in Panamá City!) we felt like we were entering our own little oasis - truly a home away from home. The apartment was absolutely perfect - immaculately clean, a great space, great kitchen and living area to chill with a movie, spacious bedrooms (with super comfy beds), great bathrooms - and a balcony where we drank our cafecito each morning. Truly amazing - would not change one thing! The restaurants Patty recommended were outstanding, only wish we had time to go back to each one again. The streets of Casco Viejo, steps from the apartment, are full of life, local art, beautiful churches every where you look, cobblestone streets with balconies filled with colorful flowers everywhere - like a work of art itself. We highly recommend this apartment - five starts all around!

Great place, great location, great hosts!

We stayed with Patty and Rudy for our 4 night 4 day stay in PTY. The building is secure with a locked main door and as well as a second double deadbolt door at the apartment itself. There are also security cameras as a bonus. The neighborhood was also safe for walking day and night. The place is super cute, clean, well equipped and PERFECTLY located in Casco Viejo. Close to everything. Our hosts also offer added airport transfers and excursions if you’d like. We did airport pick up and the excursion to the canal + jungle boat + exhibitions. The tour was great and Rudy is super knowledgeable about the area and took care of everything. There is a great welcome binder with activity and restaurant suggestions too! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing Stay!

We enjoyed three nights at Patty's casita in Casco Viejo. This is a two storey apartment on the top floor of a three storey building. There is no elevator but the stairs were good for us after sampling many great meals in Panamá City. Patty's background as a hotelier really shows in the attention to detail in this rental. It is decorated beautifully. Linens and towels are in top condition! Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possible need. She even left us some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, tea, coffee, condiments, etc. The bathrooms had extra toothbrushes, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, makeup remover wipes, etc. The location is excellent for walking around the old town and her restaurant recommendations were perfect. Her husband Rudy picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the cruise ship terminal for a very reasonable fee. We also hired him for a local walking tour and learned even more about the city. I would highly recommend this rental to you. We were two adult, non-smoking couples from Canada. Both Patty and Rudy speak several languages. Wonderful people and incredible hosts!

Our family of four stayed here for a week. Our family consists of my husband, two daughters ages 9 & 12, and myself. We all had the best experience at Patty and Rudy’s place. They were welcoming from the moment we met them. They assisted with our luggage and gave us a tour and oriented us to the house. The house was very clean and we all felt at home right away. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants, shops and the market. Ubers were always available for trips further away. I would highly recommend this vacation rental for your next family getaway. Thank you Patty and Rudy for making our vacation even more perfect!

Incredible amazing property! Truly 10 out of 10

We loved every second of our experience at Patty’s stunning 2 bedroom loft. Very spacious, open and well laid out, super comfortable, great appliances, fabulous local art, excellent smart TV, easy to use AC. Charming balcony overlooking a lovely street in Casco Viejo, which is THE place to stay in Panama City. 3 minute walk to some of the best restaurants in the city. We stayed upstairs in the king bed which we loved. The loft is even better than the photos! Patty is an excellent communicator, and gave us so very helpful information, welcomed us warmly even before we arrived. Her husband, Rudy, picked us up from the airport after a red eye flight. We booked a private tour with him to the Panama Canal locks (with IMAX movie included) and learned so much more than we would have on our own. Like having an old friend share the day with us. The boat tour in the canal was unique and fun too. They both gave us many tips on restaurants, shopping, and generally how to maximize our 5 days in Panama City. We highly highly recommend Patty's stunning 2 bedroom loft. Cannot wait to return!! Thank you Patty and Rudy for all you do to make your guests so at home ~ Lou and Mark Boulder, Colorado

Incredible time in Panama City!

We spent a couple of nights at this beautiful apartment before moving to Coronado for the rest of our vacation - and I only wish I would have planned for more time here! Not only is this a gorgeous apartment, but the location couldn't be beat! The center of everything and just steps away from restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. We really enjoyed our time on the balcony taking in the sights and sounds of the city. Communication with Patty was timely and she was incredibly helpful. Including arranging for transportation, giving us some tips for a visit to the Canal the next morning, and I loved that they met us at the apartment to walk through everything. Snacks and cold water and juices in the refrigerator were a nice touch and very welcome after a long day of traveling! She even checked in with us to make sure we made it to Coronado safely which was incredibly thoughtful. :) The apartment itself was spacious, well-appointed with everything you need, and very clean. It was truly a highlight of our trip and I would definitely return!

Everything was as advertised. Rudy and Patty couldn’t have been better hosts with responding immediately to requests for information, having a fully appointed apartment with every need fulfilled and decorated with local art. Beds were comfortable and apartment was fairly quiet ( except for church bells). Location was perfect. As our tour guide Rudy was informative and very helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Patty & Rudy

Host profile image
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!
