Interesting! I have only really stayed in Panama and Costa Rica, and have had good luck in both countries. The Central American people I’ve stayed with are amazingly friendly and kind.

I’ve gone down to the city a few times, as there’s nowhere up here to get fresh groceries (only a mini market that has packaged items/pantry staples.) I rented a car for a week at one point also so I could explore a few different areas. You can go from the northern beaches to the Gamboa rain forest to the city and back up into the mountains in one day! It’s been a cool place to explore nature.

I have found that if you contact an AirBNB owner, especially for a property that isn’t marked as “usually booked!” or whatever, they will reduce their rate quite a bit for a long-term stay.

I am currently in Panama staying in a cabin in a beautiful national park, up in the mountains, an hour from Panama City - for $650/month. Typically the place I’m staying rents for $80/night. The owner averaged his bookings during this time of year and offered me a great deal to stay here for two months.
