Questions guests ask before booking

Answered by the host; the same facts Chucho uses.

What is the penthouse layout and capacity?

The fourth bedroom is a converted office/studio space and does not have a private bathroom; the other three bedrooms each have a private bathroom. No further bed-by-bedroom layout is supplied. Expansive living and dining areas are filled with natural light and offer space to relax or gather with family and friends. There is a fully equipped modern kitchen for short or extended stays.

Located at PH Arco Chato in historic Casco Viejo, it is surrounded by restaurants, cafés, cultural landmarks and vibrant nightlife. The minimum stay is 1 night and the maximum stay is 365 nights.

What should I know about noise, security and arrival times?

The property is located at Calle 3 Oeste & Avenida A, PH Arco Chato, in the heart of Casco Viejo, Panama—one of the most vibrant and historic areas of the city. Due to its central location, you may experience typical city noise, especially during weekends. There is a regular police presence in the area. The building entrance is monitored by a security camera to control access and prevent unauthorized visitors. There is no receptionist on site, so please share your estimated arrival time in advance. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, and the property notes state that check-ins are available until 10:00 PM. Check-out is at 11:00 AM.

Which starter supplies are provided?

A complimentary starter kit includes essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, soap and toilet paper. Once these items are used, guests are responsible for replenishing them for the remainder of their stay.

How can I get around, and is parking available?

The host describes the metro station, bus stops and places of interest as being within walking distance. The old city's streets were not designed for cars, making parking difficult and expensive. Uber or bicycles are recommended; you can ask about e-bike rentals. The host does not recommend informal parking lots. There are four gated parking lots at varying distances from the property. Paid off-premises parking is advertised; parking involves an extra fee.

What is the recommended way to reach the area?

PH Arco Chato is in the heart of Casco Viejo, a historic area with limited vehicle access and narrow streets. A taxi or rideshare is recommended, with drop-off at Arco Chato, a well-known landmark. The property is a short walk from there, directly in front of the arch. Traffic can be busy, especially during evenings and weekends, and parking in the area is limited.

When is guest support available?

Communication hours are 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The team will do its best to answer messages outside those hours. For emergencies, guests may call at any time. If staff are not on site, the team will do everything possible to assist remotely until someone can arrive in person. You are staying in an apartment, not a hotel; please treat the space with respect. If problems arise, the team will try to act as soon as possible, but no one lives on site 24/7.

Casco Antiguo, also known as Casco Viejo, is Panama City's historic district and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
