The living area was spacious and the kitchen was adequately equipped. Overall we appreciated the level of cleanliness in comparison to other rental accommodations we have used in the past. We enjoyed the neighborhood with easy access to Omar Park, restaurants and shopping. Sophia was responsive to concerns that popped up during our stay. We would stay here again.

The accommodation is very central and close to shopping centers and many places to eat that you can access on foot. It has a drawer in case you rent a car and elevator! It is advisable to stay

- Excellent location. - Very good communication and Sophia's willingness to clarify questions and resolve any problems. - A bit expensive considering quality vs. price. - It is necessary to consider that in Panama it is very hot, the apartment is very clear and does not have A/A energy savers and if the invoice exceeds a certain amount, you must cover said amount together with the apartment owner (an extra expense that you must contemplate) - The main room at 6:30 am already awakens you in the sunlight, so who likes to sleep in the dark this is a problem (they are ceiling to floor windows)

Sophia's is a great place, very bright, great view, very spacious, quiet and in a nice and safe area. Check-in and check-out very easy. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Can only recommend and would definitely stay again at the same place. Very minor shortcoming: need to bring your own toilet paper...

Really great location quick walk to great restaurants, cafes, bars, groceries, liquor store, and a quick uber into surrounding central neighborhoods. Sophia was very helpful with local advice and recommendations. The unit is high up enough to be fairly quite as Panama streets can be pretty noisy. I would stay there again.

Sophia's apartment is a wonderful place in a nice, quiet building (except for repair work on the kiddie pool) in a very convenient location. Amenities are exceptional!! Just be prepared to bring a sleep mask if you like to sleep in; sunlight floods the bedroom with light.

We stayed in Sophia's place for 3 weeks and it felt like home. The apartment was clean and well furnished, and Sophia went above and beyond to accommodate our (very fickle) schedule. I highly recommend this listing.

Hands down, the worst Airbnb experience ever. Read the reviews closely.
Host Response
Guest cancelled reservation and then tried many ways to get around our cancellation policies, including giving evasive responses and eventually, inventing lies about the cleanliness of the place. Guest opened a case in the resolution center, which was resolved in my favor. Since he could not prove he’s case to the resolution center, and since he did not get he’s way, he then left a this review, probably with the intention to cause public damage to this listing, just because he is able to do so. Please read ALL reviews and evaluations and judge by yourself (42 out 46 of our evaluations are 5 stars).

Amazing place to stay in Panama!! Close to many places to eat and malls. Sophia was great responding to my questions as soon as possible and the place was AWESOME! I would definitely stay here again in the future when visiting Panama!!

This place in Panama seemed almost too good to be true. I thought to myself 'There must be a catch!' But everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Sophia is the most thoughtful, gracious host. She provided us with all the information we needed. The apartment is just perfect! Kitchen is incredibly convenient and contains everything one would need. The bed is comfortable, bathroom and terrace (with very nice view) are excellent. Location is incredible - near an small, organic grocer/restaurant named Mercadito Biologico. Plus, there was a very good ice cream place directly across the street from the building where the apt is located. Sophia had excellent restaurant recommendations and was of great help. She went way beyond to make our stay inside of the apartment comfortable and memorable. . Thanks (Host Name) and (Location Name) for a wonderful weekend! We will be back, (Guest Name)

If you are thinking of being a guest you should ask yourself the following questions, and only if the answer is NO you should rent the place: 1.Do I need an entire apartment 2. Do I need a concierge 3. Do I need the 2nd bathroom 4. Do I want to watch TV 5. Do I like to sleep after sunrise of 6:30 a.m. 6. Do I expect the host to provide me with all the amenities that she wrote are in the apartment 7. Am I disappointed when I ask and even beg the host(she) for somethings that are in most other Airbnb apartments and the she refuses to give them to me? She comes out with many original excuses not to provide me with a very legitimate request. To the following questions only if your answer is YES ( or you do not mind): 8. Am I prepared that the contract I see today or rigth after I pay will be changed without my knowledge or agreement before I use the apartment 9. The streets around the apartment are without pavement 10. The dining room table is not stable and shaking 11. The windows and sofas are dirty 12. The furniture are used and old fashioned, definitely not a luxury apartment

THE GOOD: Location, location, location. Easy to get everywhere either walking or using Uber. Nice view. Check in process was easy (met housekeeper). Sophia is very responsive if you need anything. OTHER: We are not super picky, but the cleanliness was not up to our expectaions. Sophia did send out a house cleaner right away to attempt to remedy the situation. OVERALL: We would stay here again.

This place is really well located near plenty of restaurants and bars and is much more spacious than I realized in the photos. The bedroom gets quite a lot of sun in the morning, but that was fine as I'm an early riser!

Loved: the place is just like the photos. It has a great location. Walking distance to restaurants and a mini market to buy food and the essentials. Safe neighborhood. Has a nice pool. Good internet. The building has an area for kids to play. Should know: the light at 6am in the bedroom wakes you up every morning. Tv has one channel.

Sophia’s place is in a great location. Very safe building with a great play room in the building if you have kids. Wonderful views of the city from the balcony, and just a 5 minute Uber ride to the biggest and best mall in the city. The bedroom and living room are in direct view of the sun in the morning, so you will be woken up at 6am whether you want to or not. The furniture is a bit outdated, and the tables are a bit shaky. The couch is extremely old and dirty.. a few roaches were seen coming out of it, but Sophia immediately sent an exterminator. Sophia wasn’t in the country during our stay, but she responded very efficiently to all of or needs. When we arrived, the condo hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guest. Sophia sent a cleaning lady within the next couple of days. Overall, if you are not too picky and if you don’t spend much time in the apartment, it’s ok. But we stayed a month and we have a baby and we are hygiene freaks so it was a bit of a hassle for us compared to our previous airbnbs. I am sure when Sophia reads this, she will take the proper action to update her apartment. Thanks for everything!

Sophia has been extremely helpful and responsive from the moment I decided to book her place. Top points for being a generous and responsible host! The place is in a quiet neighborhood with security. Easily accessible to many places around either by walking or by Uber. Nice view of the city from the balcony.

Spacious apartment close to downtown but with a local vibe since is in San Francisco, a residential neighborhood. Perfect if you wanna explore the city and relax out of the transit and city noise.

Sophia's place is wonderful! If we ever come back to Panama City again, we are not interested in staying anywhere else. The apartment is dreamy, with ceiling to floor windows and really tasteful home decor. It is high enough in the apartment building where you can get a wonderful view of the city. We spent hours every day on the balcony and in the bedroom just looking at the city. Gorgeous, beautiful apartment and Sophia was very communicative and generous the whole way through.

This is a great condo in a nice clean building. We found Sophia to be very quick in responding to our questions. Sh e gave us some good tips on what to see and do while in Panama. Sophia is a great host. The condo is in a great location to walk to many good restaurants, shopping. We loved our time at the pool and met some great people.

Our host was very attentive to all our needs, the apartment is super central, there is a park called Parque Omar that offers many activities like Zumba classes and playgrounds for the kids. The whole San Francisco area is very secure and safe, has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and salons. If I had to pick one negative thing to state would be that the apartment is very bright due to the sun but Sophia provides sleeping masks. Otherwise I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come again!!

Alright, where to begin... The place is awesome! Central spot to everything. City, Costa Oeste, Amador, Casco Viejo and if you plan ahead, you can watch local sports (LPB Liga Panameña de Baloncesto) at La Usma. It felt good coming home to Sophia’s Place. The nights where quiet for Panamanian standards (a siren, horn honking) but the sounds of the massive 15 minute rain storm falling was awesome to hear. Amenities are good. Kitchen, laundry and sitting areas where functional and comfortable. If you are looking for a great place to stay, central to a lot what the city offers, and be able to relax at night then this is a great place to come. PS: If you venture driving around Panama, be ready to own the road, or the road and it’s people will own you. But it’s a fun time driving around Panama. One of a kind. Mr. Sanchez... Good guy. Have a great trip. I DID!

We had an excellent stay at Sophia's apartment for an entire month. From day 1, Sophia was an attentive and communicative host. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of; when we messaged her with questions, she was very quick to respond. The location is great for anyone who wants to experience Panama City beyond the traditional touristy area of Casco Viejo. It's safe and has many restaurants and markets within walking distance. Parque Omar and the Multiplaza (mall) were each a short 10 minute walk away. Her apartment is spacious and very comfortable. We cooked in the kitchen, used the pool and gym, and enjoyed the views from the balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows frequently. Highly recommend Sophia and her apartment if you're in Panama City, especially for an extended stay.
