Prepared ?! As promised, I will tell you the odyssey that is to find a room or an apartment in Panama City. To start searching, the first question is, where? There are sites with apartment listings, there are real estate agencies, newspaper advertisements, word-of-mouth. Normal. I too used the site encuentra.24. In addition to having many ads, also gives us the possibility to make filters to select the type of houses we want to see. We must know what to look for. The area is very important. There is central, dangerous, chic, etc ... as on all sides. The difference is that here the location has even more importance if we think that for us to move about anywhere linger always long. In the ads is normal to see as a positive attribute, "is by the way". Here it means to have good access because really there is always traffic. After depends on whether we are looking for a room or an apartment. Habitación, cuarto, recamara is always room, there is no difference in meaning. May be amueblado / amoblado, which means it has furniture. If you have línea blanca is because it has appliances. Usually houses have stove and refrigerator. What is important to investigate is: if they have washer and dryer machine (dishwashing never have, but drying is very common); to have air conditioning; if they have water heater (if not says it has dispenser agua caliente, surely there is no hot water in the apartment, was not an oversight in the description!). Other important information: 1. Most homes do not have hot water: many do not realize because pinte we want it. So many times I asked if there was hot water, said no and opened the tap for me to see that the water is not cold. It is not cold, it's true! ... But it's not hot! ;) 2. Have air conditioning or a fan is very important, because pinte the more fresquinho it feels here are 25 C at night. It is also common to be a positive attribute in ads: have wind. Here have wind is almost a blessing, because you can leave the windows open and will circulate some air - but it is something quite rare! Use air conditioning is very very expensive; electricity is very expensive - if we live in a windy area, as well as being more "yummy" feel the wind, we can save. But beware: open the windows when you are not at home; the noise is so much that is cumbersome to be with the windows open. 3. The floor of the building is also something to consider. The higher the better, for two reasons: there is more wind and less noise. pinte As already mentioned here the noise is amazing. I live in a 10th floor, which is equivalent to a 15 and still hear a lot of traffic noise on the street; not even want to imagine for neighbors who are low down, "pobrecitos". 4. In general, housing is expensive. pinte A fourth 400 to $ 500 must have the conditions that Europeans consider acceptable. Each room 150 and other 700 - there is something for everyone! Regardless of the requirements of each, there is always to see the home team and the level of cleanliness finishes. I had never noticed the finishes of a house; I noticed here, because there are! The construction is bad, even in condominiums considered good. These aspects are important because protection of the animals and hygiene in general. One last thing for today: almost all apartments have maid's room. Some I would not call room, but the hallway ... anyway, if there is an ad that says it's a small room with en-suite individual, means that it is the fourth of the employed. It is usually pinte cheaper pinte than regular rooms. Some are quite acceptable, although only fit the bed practically. Even if there is hot water in the apartment, the maid's room never there. This may be an option for those who do not want to spend so much and is not much time at home. Finally, the information is "technical" basic I would say essential to get the start house hunting process. But there's more you need to know ... left waiting to see what the scenes the next "chapter";) pinte
