A cozy ROOM in Albrook, nestled in a tidy and welcoming house where I live. A five-minute walk to the bus stop, a 20-minute walk to 3 supermarkets, a veggie market & Albrook airport (Marcos A. Gelabert-NOT Tocumen International). Despite being conveniently situated in the city, the nearby jungle gives it a tranquil feel. Please note that I have two dogs and a cat, so if you have allergies or are not a fan of animals, this might not be the ideal spot for you :-) The room is very comfortable with a double bed. The mattress has memory foam and the linen (duvet cover and sheets) are all 100% cotton. The floors in the bedroom and hall are carpeted. There are shades as well as curtains making the room nice and cozy for those that like to sleep late. Even though we are located in Panama city, you will fall asleep listening to the ouside jungle sounds. There is an airconditioner in the room as well as a fan if you prefer. The bedroom features a dresser and mirror, nightstand and a walk in closet. I have extra sheets and a single mattress if needed for children, as well as a pack and play. The shared bathroom is right outside the door where there is a warm waterfall shower waiting for you... The living room, dining room and kitchen are shared as well as the bathroom. Living in the house are myself and my two daughters. My sister lives in an apartment downstairs with her two children. In the living room there is a Smart Tv that is available that has Netflix. There is also an uncovered patio that is fit with a table for six people that you are welcome to use. Guest interaction is at your preference. I will be happy to help give any advice regarding travelling in Panama as I have lived here my whole life. I speak english and spanish so I can help you communicate if necessary. Breakfast is provided for $10 per person ( fresh fruit salad, toast & jam, eggs, waffles, coffee, orange juice) Must order in advance. Pay cash upon arrival. Albrook was built by the US Airforce and originally used as one of their military bases until it was turned over to Panama in 1999. It is a great area as it is centrally located but not in the "inner" city. We are close to Ciudad del Saber (about a 10 minute bus ride) and also the Bay of Panama. On Albrook we have clinics, restraunts, a huge GYM franchise, post office, laundromats, a public swimming pool, a university, banks, a drug store and a 24 hour supermarket, all within walking distance (about 1.5 km away). My next-door neighbor offers Panama Tours for great rates. IG panamadaytrips The bus stop is approximately a 5-minute walk and to get to the bus terminal (where if you are planning on traveling to Costa Rica or the interior of Panama is where you need to go to catch your bus) is about a 5-minute taxi ride. You can walk to the end of the road where you will reach the main street of Albrook where there are cabs continuously driving past. If you have a car, there is parking outside the house available. If you decide to take a bus from Tocumen to Albrook Terminal, it is bus number 480. At the Albrook terminal, you will disembark and look for bus number 420 which will drop you off down the road from the house. There is a local airport down the road called Marcos A. Gelabert which if you plan on visiting Bocas del Torro or Sanblas by air, this is where you will fly from. I work at a local international school as a Kindergarten teacher. My children attend the same school where I work so we are usually out the door by 7:00 am and do not return until approximately 4 or 5 pm, therefore, you have the house to yourself (other than the housekeeper) unless it is a weekend or school holiday. My housekeeper will happily clean your room and wash your laundry for a minimal fee, please ask if interested.
