Excellent place to escape from nature

The small but nice place is in a beautiful garden with many birds ( even a toucan!) and sometimes a squirrel, wonderfully quiet and yet within walking distance of the restaurants or other important things. There was not so much live contact with the host family, but via chat contact the responses are quick, friendly and accurate. All accommodations in this place are pricey, this location could be a little cheaper, yet I would definitely choose it again next time. I had 4 great nights and 5 nice hiking days.

Super comfortable and well equipped!!

Everything was perfect. very clean accommodation. Perfect welcome. Amilcar even picked us up from the city center upon our arrival. Very peaceful place. Regular bus passes in front of the house so very accessible. The house is in a pretty and large garden in which you can see passing in front of the terrace of squirrels and pretty birds. I would recommend this place ++ if you want to go to El Valle de Anton. Thank you very much Amilcar.

Gracias por visitarnos y suerte en sus próximas aventuras, con gusto los esperamos nuevamente.

Really the place was quiet and modest the location a little confusing but they managed to guide me and I was able to get there.. I rented the place just to sleep so it was good for me.. despite not having air conditioning not hot because at night it made it cool to take a bath before going to sleep so that helped.. for those looking for something more luxurious is not the ideal place.. but for what I wanted to serve me.. I would use it again

Very quiet and quiet place, super private

Amilcar’s little apartment is complete with all the basics that we needed for a couple of days. Kitchen have basic ingredients for cooking, pans, water, coffee and even cleaning products. There’s a dining area inside and also outside to enjoy the beautiful garden. The bed is comfortable, the linens used are in good quality for a pleasant and relaxing sleep. Bathroom has no hot water but we actually didn’t miss it, the cold water is perfect in this summer weather. Location is not very close to town but if you enjoy walking like we do then it’s perfect as the surrounding is beautiful. Also good to mention that, before check-in - Amilcar kindly picked us up with his car when he found out that we already reached the town, because of this we did not have to struggle in locating the apartment. All was smooth. It’s a bonus that we surely appreciated! Overall great and would recommend!

Amilcar was very nice and helpful. The place was very clean and as described. Two water bottles and filter coffee bags were provided free of charge. The only drawback is that the directions, which are on file on Airbnb, are not true. The apartment is 200 m away and would not have been findable without Amilcar. Nevertheless, it was a nice stay with a little walk to the city center. It should also be mentioned that Amilcar was very helpful and drove us for free to our other hostel in Valle de Antón.😊

Well, sadly I had to leave earlier than planned due to some downstream issues that came up. From an amenities and usefulness standpoint Amilcar’s unit was probably one of the best I have used outside of Panama City. The surrounding area is just beautiful and from a walking standpoint I would have loved exploring had my trip not been cut short. The kitchen was well equipped but because I do very little cooking myself when I travel I was concerned about the lack of restaurants nearby. I had just started to explore and found some nice places within a 20-25 minute walk including a very nice coffee cafe; I would have been good for a longer stay (no car)!

Super welcome by Amilcar, really friendly and helpful. Pleasantly welcomed us and made sure that we were taken to the hike La India Dormida a day later by his brother at our desired early time (05.15 am). Great! Still, we think the price is just a little too high for what you get. Quite basic space, insects (especially by the kitchen), and 'shared space' depicted in the pictures appear to be more involved with their private home than at the property itself (not inviting). Far from downtown, but you'll choose that. We will of course grant Amilcar and his family the best!

Room was ok, nice garden, we were allowed to use the private little pool, hard to find the wrong one. Maps coordinates ( the property is about 200 meters above on the left), unfortunately we cannot assess the friendliness of the host, as unfortunately there has been no conversation. We thought that was very unfortunate.

Me ocupe en mi trabajo, espero la hayan pasado super, tomaremos en cuenta la dirección y ofrecer la misma lo mas clara posible.

Beautiful location. If you stay here, keep in mind it's about a 20 minute walk into town. If you don't mind walking, it can be very relaxing to walk around the neighborhood as the whole area is gorgeous. Amilcar had his brother pick me up in town when I arrived and when I left he took me back into town himself. Really nice stay but just keep in mind you are a bit further away from town if you're the kind of person who needs quick access to shops/restaurants etc.

A nice and helpful host welcomed us in a large incredibly beautiful garden. The accommodation is within walking distance from the center ( approx. 20 -30 min ) The accommodation is located in the back of the apartment, which is pictured in the pictures. The room including small kitchenette & private bathroom offered us all the basics you need for an overnight stay. It is an accommodation in the green, that's why there is also a visit from bugs etc. The cold water was no problem for us. All in all. A solid place to sleep and explore the area from there.

Amilcar is an excellent host, very attentive and willing to help make your stay in El Valle the best. I was surprised at how complete the apartment, kitchen, coffee maker, etc. She took care of every last detail. The place where it is located is very pleasant, quiet and safe Amilcar took us in his car to the entrance of Dormida India, but before in a very good way he gave us a little tour of El Valle and he was explaining everything to us. It was a beautiful experience that we would definitely want to repeat.

If your destination is Valle de Anton, this is a perfect place to stay and feel the way of the locals. Great host!

Unfortunately we did not see our host in person but he was very helpful and quick to respond via phone or Airbnb. We did not find it at first but then he sent his brother to pick us up as he could not leave work. The accommodation is pretty much as you would expect from the pictures. There is an amazing garden, some friendly dogs and it is really quiet. The kitchen is ok to prepare a small meal. The bed is comfortable, Wifi is stable and fast. The only downsides were ants in the kitchen and bathroom and that the water is really freezing cold. Everything seemed a bit old and used but it was okay for a short stay.

Amilcar was very friendly and helped us with tipps. We even could wash our clothes there, which saved a lot of our time. The dogs, the garden and the terrace were really nice. However it was lacking on hygiene in the apartment. The small kitchen had a lot of ants and there were bed bugs in the bed, and my boyfriend and I had very scratchy next days. The bathroom on the other hand was very clean.
