Apartment EKAKO

Apartment EKAKO Overview

I stayed at Apartment EKAKO in Tbilisi during a breezy late‑spring trip, and honestly, it turned out to be one of those spots that feels both familiar and freshly discovered. The building sits on Lado Asatiani Street, a narrow, cobblestoned lane that’s just a block from the buzzing Rustaveli Avenue. You can almost hear the distant hum of the metro as you walk down, and on the street corner there’s that little café that serves the best melomakarona you’ll find in the city—so good you’ll want to let the scent linger as you unpack. The apartment itself is on the third floor, so no elevator, but the stairs are short and, well, the view from the balcony makes it worth the climb. From there you get a panoramic sweep of the Old Town’s rooftops, a bit of the Metekhi Church’s spire, and a clear line of sight to the bustling market square.

Check‑in was straightforward—no fancy concierge, just a keycard and a quick nod from a friendly staff member who knew everyone by name. They let me in a little early because I mentioned that the weather was unexpectedly chilly, and they kept a spare keybox on the door in case I wanted to get back in after a night out. The room feels like a home away from home: the walls are painted in soft neutrals, the windows let in a steady current of light, and the sofa is surprisingly plush—ideal for lounging after a long day of walking. The bed, with its quilted comforter and crisp linens, was a winning point; I slept like a log. The bathroom is modern but small, with a rain shower that feels surprisingly powerful for a 4‑star place. The Wi‑Fi is decent at 20‑30 Mbps, but I noticed a hiccup when streaming a high‑definition movie—so if you’re a heavy streamer, maybe plan for a buffer.

Noise is a factor I’d mention: the street below is a constant soundtrack of traffic, especially at night when the traffic lights flicker and the buses hiss by. It’s not a full‑on blackout, but you can still hear the distant laughter of kids playing near the Peace Park. I found it surprisingly quiet during the early morning hours, just before the city wakes up—perfect if you’re an early riser. Parking is a bit of a scavenger hunt: you can find a spot on the street, but it’s tightly packed, and you have to be quick. The building has a small, shared garage for residents, but you need a key, and it’s not a public amenity. If you’re driving, I’d recommend hailing a taxi or using a rideshare because the traffic can be a nightmare during the summer rush.

The apartment’s location is a major plus. It’s just a five‑minute walk to the Opera and Ballet Theatre, and you can hop on the bus to Mtatsminda Park in about twenty minutes. The nearest grocery store is on the same street, stocked with fresh produce and the usual Georgian staples—cheese, honey, and the famous “khinkali” that you can pick up on the go. For a quick bite, there’s a tiny bakery a block over that sells superb “puri” bread, and a few minutes down the road you’ll find a tea shop where the owner, a warm‑hearted old woman, will tell you about the best local tea blends.

Hotels in Tbilisi offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Caucasian gem, with easy access to museums, thermal baths, and traditional restaurants.
