Apartment on Marjanishvili in Tbilisi

Apartment on Marjanishvili in Tbilisi Overview

I just spent a weekend in an apartment in the heart of Tbilisi—not the kind of place you find in glossy brochures, but the one that feels like a secret corner of the city. The building sits on Marjanishvili Street, right in the Chugureti neighborhood, just a stone’s throw from the old town’s cobblestones and the lively chatter of Shardeni Street. As soon as I stepped onto the street, the scent of fresh coffee from a nearby café mingled with the lingering aroma of roasted chestnuts from a vendor on the corner, and I was already in love with the place.

The apartment itself is a surprisingly spacious 10‑meter‑square on the 10th floor, but the real magic is in the details. The walls are painted a warm cream that makes the morning light feel like a gentle hug, and the balcony offers a view of the city’s skyline that you can see from almost anywhere in Tbilisi. I could hear the distant clatter of the funicular, the soft hum of traffic below, and the occasional church bell—it’s all part of the city’s soundtrack, and honestly, it feels like home. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, a small fridge, and a kettle that whirs when you boil water for tea. I spent an hour in the kitchen one night, sipping sweet Georgian tea while the streetlights flickered outside, and the apartment felt quiet enough to read a book but close enough to hear the city’s pulse.

Check‑in was a breeze; the host, a cheerful woman named Nino, welcomed me with a smile and handed me the keys. No long lines, no complicated procedures—just a friendly handshake and a quick rundown of the building’s quirks. She mentioned that the building has a small parking garage on the ground floor for residents, but street parking is scarce after 5 pm, so it’s best to leave your car at the garage or use a nearby public parking lot. Noise is minimal; the apartment is insulated well enough that the late‑night traffic on the street below barely makes a sound, which is a rare find in this part of town. If you’re an early‑bird, you’ll notice the building’s windows open to a small courtyard where a handful of residents gather for morning coffee—there’s a real sense of community.

The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot. A quick walk takes you to the historic Tbilisi Funicular that drops you into the old town, where you can wander through the winding streets and soak up the old‑world charm. The Rike Park is just a five‑minute stroll away, offering a green escape right in the city center. For authentic Georgian cuisine, head to the local market on Gorgasali Street; I found a hidden gem called “Mariam’s Kitchen” that serves the best khinkali (dumplings) I’ve ever tasted. And if you’re looking for nightlife, the bars along Shardeni Street are lively, but they stay open late—so the apartment’s quiet walls are a lifesaver after a night out.

In short, this apartment is a little slice of Tbilisi that feels both intimate and connected. Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in the city’s history or simply need a comfortable spot to unwind after a day of exploring, the place hits the mark. The combination of a well‑located address, thoughtful amenities, and a welcoming host makes it a standout choice for anyone wanting to experience Tbilisi like a local, without the hassle of hotel bureaucracy. I left feeling recharged, ready to come back whenever the city calls.
