The location of the casitas was more centrally located than I initially realized. It's a couple blocks to walk to the bus stop that can take you into Coronado for 35 cents. From there you can easily catch buses all over Panama. The buses are inexpensive, and run all day long. The casitas is located on a clean, safe street, and is impeccably maintained. I walked to the beach everyday, which was good for me, as I picked up fresh fruit from the corner stand, and whatever needs I had from a selection of corner stores. Frequently expats would stop and ask if I needed a ride, people around that area were always friendly. Russ and Linda are the nicest people ever. They treated me like family, always welcoming, considerate, special, can't say enough good things about them. Russ has the most amazing ability to predict the weather, with a 99.5% accuracy! Linda is kind, sweet, thoughtful. The casitas itself was exactly as the other reviews reported. Clean, designer quality, everything you could want and more. I stayed a month, my daughter stayed a week, we wish we never left.
