Host:
and we loved most things about the apartment and the area
In all our family had a great trip and though we try never to go to the same place twice
we all already miss Panama City
The apartment itself is very nice though there were a few minor drawbacks
Location:
The area is safe and has a 24-hour supermarket just a 5-minute walk away
Plenty of kosher and regular restaurant options too A 20-minute drive from the Panama Canal
In truth the biggest drawback for us was that there really is no proper beach in or around Panama City
Uber was the way we got everywhere
(Casco Viejo is a place that should not be missed - we made many 15-minute Uber trips to it and back)
