We stayed for a week, and it was perfect. Apartment has a kitchen, washer and dryer, and great air conditioning. It was close enough to the city, but far enough away from the noise and hustle and bustle. Patty and Rudy are AMAZING hosts.

Located in the greenery of Amador with distant views of downtown and the water. Very quaint, small, well appointed apartment with standard amenities. No pool but lovely upper level terrace with clearer views of the downtown, mountains, bridge of the Americas and water, Great owners with excellent customer service. Walking distance to downtown Amador and the Canal House restaurant.

Thank you for your review and for highlighting the peaceful setting of Amador, the terrace views, and our convenient location. For the benefit of future guests, we would clarify that the apartment is actually quite large for a one-bedroom by Panama standards. The bathroom and shower are especially spacious, as bathrooms in Panama are generally much smaller, even in larger apartments. We’ve made a conscious effort to provide generous space, comfort, and the amenities guests need while preserving the quaint character of the property. We’re also pleased that you recognized our commitment to excellent customer service. Saludos, Patty & Rudy

The host and the property were both awesome. The host's attention to detail (all the little things that make you feel so welcome) were perfect from the beginning to end. There is absolutely no reason to stay at a hotel if this property is available. Restaurants were within walking distance, ubers were reasonable and the views from the terrace at night were magical.I look forward to returning in the future!!!

Had a wonderful stay at Patty’s Upscale Bay ViewCondo. The photos were completely accurate, but they didn’t do justice to the breathtaking views, which are truly spectacular.Patty and Rudy are exceptional hosts—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. Their communication was prompt and thoughtful, making me feel welcomed from the very first message. The condo felt like a true home away from home, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay.Highly recommended!

Perfect apartment for exploring the Amador area. It was well stocked and nice extra touches like a starter kit of supplies and umbrellas. The rooftop terrace was great for watching the ships going to and from the canal. Patty is an amazing host and lovely person. Very friendly and helpful as was her husband Rudy. I recommend the Gatun Lake boat tour with him. Very enjoyable and lots of wildlife spotted.

Laid back gem in Panama City

Comfortable little apartment in safe, quiet area. Great view of city can. You can walk along the sea and see decayed barracks formerly occupied by US troops years ago. Restaurants and two excellent museums within walking distance. Not the place if you're looking for action and night life but perfect for a relaxing stay.

Panamanian Hospitality

My wife and I really enjoyed our week long visit to Central America. Though I was bit hampered with sciatica, we made the most of it. Patti & Rudy were fantastic hosts and the place we stayed at was one of the best we have vaca'd at. Anyone coming to Panama must check this place out! We saw quite a bit during stay and look forward to a return trip sometime in the future! Great Job Guys!

Ironman Race Weekend

I was in Panama City for Ironman Panama. I wanted a place that would be convenient to the race, so that was the main reason I chose Patty’s apartment. The location was perfect and made it really easy for me. The unit was absolutely lovely, and exactly as it was advertised on VRBO. I also could not be happier with the communication with Patty and Rudy. They were so helpful, including picking me up at the airport. Patty is also very responsive. I can’t say enough good things about my stay in my experience. I will definitely be back

Wonderful Stay in Patty’s Beautiful Condo

We had the pleasure of renting Patty’s beautiful condo in the idyllic Amador area for a brief stay in Panama City in June. Not only did the condo live up to our expectations for cleanliness, convenience and comfort, but Patty and Rudy were the most gracious hosts who also provided a convenient transport option to the airport and from our earlier stay in Coronado. Rudy is also an expert on Panama and briefed us on many of the historical sites along out routes. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and more—there are even bikes provided if you would like to ride around the beautiful Amador area. We could not have made a better choice in places to stay in Panama City and would definitely love to stay here on a future visit.

Everything about Patty's condo is amazing! She gives you hotel service with the comfort of being at home. She is incredibly responsive from the moment you book all the way through your trip.Patty met me at check-in to give me a tour of the building and answer any questions. Similar to front desk service at a hotel, she provided maps of the area with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. The condo is incredibly clean and organized. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need for your stay. The bathroom had the normal toiletries such as bodywash, shampoo, etc. but also included things like toothpaste and makeup remover in case you forgot something. It's clear that Patty puts a lot of thought and care into her place. As a woman travelling alone, I felt very safe staying there. The building is gated and has 24 hour security on site. The Amador area is away from the crowds but close enough to old town to get there via a quick Uber ride. There were also a few great restaurants in walking distance.

A perfect apartment!

We've stayed in many places during our travels, but this apartment was exceptional and it had everything we'd hoped for and more. Patty and Rudy were excellent hosts, very accommodating and friendly, and helped make our winter getaway to Panama one we will always remember. The view from the apartment is quite beautiful during the day as well as at night. From the upstairs terrace, you have an amazing view of the huge ships working their way in and out of the Panama Canal. Watching sunsets and sunrises from there was mesmerizing. With the bikes our hosts provided, we were able to ride along the Amador Causeway every day and see the ships from a different perspective. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment. Thanks, Patty and Rudy!

Best Location in Panama and Best Hosts!

We stayed for 10 days. The apartment was extremely clean and well stocked with spices and cooking supplies (we cooked all our meals and we had all the utensils and cookware we needed) as well as ample paper and food storage products. The snacks, juice, coffee/ tea and milk were a nice touch. Shampoo and body wash as well as laundry detergent were provided. The building’s location in Amador is amazing as it provides for outstanding views in all of the desirable directions. The rooftop was our favorite spot and we spent many hours watching the ships, soccer games, birdwatching (saw many parrots) and other various local activities. We thoroughly enjoyed walking and running on the causeway and appreciated the bikes. We always felt safe and welcomed. The iguanas sat in the trees outside our windows everyday. Patty and Rudy were always a text away and answered all of our questions immediately. Thank you to Rudy for the Gatun Lake and Monkey Island tour and transport to/from the airport! They were the best VRBO hosts we’ve had yet! If we ever visit Panama again, we will definitely book this location or one of Patty's other casitas.

Altos de Amador

My husband and I visited Panama in August for a little shy of 2 weeks. We had the good fortune to select Patty and Rudy's one bedroom condo in Amador. It was clear from the very beginning that we had chosen wisely. Rudy was promptly at the airport to pick us up the night we arrived. He helped us to find a place to eat even though it was late, and their gracious hospitality was extended even further. Patty had sent along some home made treats that we were grateful for the next morning. The condo was professionally/tastefully decorated and spotless. Patty made herself available throughout our stay to promptly answer every question that we had, and they were many. They even provided a cell phone that we could use locally. These two think of everything that a guest would need and want and made it so. Transportation arrangements back to the airport made by Patty were also seamless. I would certainly stay with them again, and recommend the same to family and friends.
