Apartment next to Funicular Station

Apartment next to Funicular Station Overview

I first stumbled into the Apartment next to Funicular Station while exploring Tbilisi late one evening, when the city was already buzzing with that mix of old Georgian charm and the electric energy of nightlife. The building sits on Mtatsminda Street, a cobbled lane that leads up to the funicular – you can hear the clack of the car as it shuttles people up and down the hill, a soundtrack that feels both mechanical and oddly comforting. I remember the first time I saw the little plaque on the door: “Apartment next to Funicular Station.” It was almost a secret sign that whispered, “you’re close to the heart of the city.” Honestly, the view from the balcony is a masterpiece – a 360-degree panorama of Tbilisi’s rooftops, the spiraling sulfur vents, and the distant outline of the Mtatsminda Park. The morning light spills over the old churches, and the scent of fresh coffee from a nearby café wafts in.

When you step inside, it’s not a typical hotel lobby; it’s more like a home you can trust. The living area is spacious, with a comfy sofa and a wall of windows that let in the soft glow of early afternoon. The kitchenette is surprisingly well-equipped – a mini-fridge, a stove, and even a coffee machine that roasts beans right in your own little space. I found the Wi-Fi connection to be spot-on, which is a relief after a few nights in places where the signal is a gamble. The beds are king-size, covered in thick, breathable linens that feel like a gentle hug after a day of walking. The bathroom is modern, with a rain shower and a small, but generous, walk-in closet that you don’t expect in a place that’s only a few floors up. One minor critique: the window blinds are a bit flimsy, so if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to get a few extra sheets or a sleep mask. But honestly, the noise from the funicular is almost like a lullaby – a repetitive, rhythmic hum that keeps the city from feeling too loud.

Parking is a bit of a puzzle – there isn’t a dedicated spot for guests, but the city’s underground parking lots are just a short walk away, and they’ve got signage in English and Georgian, which is handy if you’re not fluent in the local script. I parked near the entrance of the funicular, and the driver even gave me a quick local tip: “The best breakfast spot is just a block over on Vake Street – grab a khachapuri and a cup of strong black coffee.” I followed that advice and was rewarded with buttery bread and a coffee that could revive a soul. Check-in was quick and friendly, with the host offering a map of the city and a few insider secrets – like the best time to catch the sunset from the hilltop. The only thing that could use improvement is the small delay in the elevator during peak hours, but the staff were apologetic and offered a quick coffee to make up for it. All in all, staying at the Apartment next to Funicular Station felt like having a trustworthy friend right next door, guiding you through the city’s hidden corners, letting you hear the heartbeat of Tbilisi from the comfort of your own space.
