Apartment On Tabidze 3/5

Apartment On Tabidze 3/5 Overview

I booked a stay at Apartment On Tabidze 3/5, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Tbilisi. The place feels like a slice of local life rather than a tourist trap, and that’s something you just notice when you’re not looking for the “world‑class” vibe. The apartment is tucked into a quiet corner of Tabidze Street, so you’re not jostled by the constant flow of buses, but you’re still a stone’s throw from Rustaveli Avenue where the street performers light up the evenings. I mean, you can walk out the door and heading into the Old Town is like stepping back in time, but you’ll still have the convenience of a metro stop just a few blocks away.

The check‑in was surprisingly smooth. The host, a friendly Georgian woman named Nino, greeted me in a cozy lobbied room that smelled faintly of fresh coffee and dried herbs—a subtle hint that she probably grew a few of those herbs herself. She took my keycard and walked me through the apartment, pointing out the pantry stocked with local cheeses and a small selection of Georgian wines. You’ll notice the apartment has that charming, slightly worn charm; the walls have a faint, faded print of a 1950s poster, and the windows open up to a narrow street where you can hear the clatter of a bicycle and the distant call of a vendor selling khinkali. It’s not fancy, but it’s functional: the kitchen has a gas stove, a small fridge, and a kettle that boils water in less than a minute. The living area is spacious enough to spread out a few sheets of travel journals, and the couch is covered in a soft, worn‑out fabric that feels surprisingly comfortable after a long day of exploring.

Parking is a bit of a hassle, but that’s the reality of living in a city where cars are an exception rather than the rule. There is a municipal lot on the opposite side of the street, but it fills up by noon during peak season. I ended up using a nearby bike rack to drop my luggage, and then walked to the metro station. Noise levels are pretty decent; the apartment is insulated enough that you can hear the occasional siren or traffic, but it doesn’t drown out the city’s heartbeat. On the bright side, the air conditioning is a lifesaver during the summer heat—no need to rely on the city’s public fans, which can be a bit unpredictable. If you’re traveling with a group, the apartment has a surprisingly generous sleeping capacity with a second sofa that folds into a bed, though the mattress is a bit firm—so bring a travel pillow if you’re a light sleeper.

What really sticks with me are the little details that locals appreciate. I discovered a hidden gem, a tiny café called “Sakartvelo Coffee” on the corner of Tabidze and Kvabiskidze, where the barista knows your name after a couple of visits. The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans, the sound of espresso machines hissing, and the subtle taste of sweetened tea with a hint of vanilla make the place feel like home. I also short walk to the nearby Tbilisi Botanical Garden, which is a quiet oasis for anyone who wants to escape the city’s buzz for a few hours. The apartment’s proximity to both the vibrant nightlife of Fabrika and the serene beauty of Mtatsminda Park makes it a perfect base for travelers who want a bit of everything.

All in all, Apartment On Tabidze 3/5 is a solid, no‑frills stay that gives you a genuine taste of daily life in Tbilisi. It feels like you’re staying with a local friend, which is priceless when you’re on the move. The pros outweigh the few cons, and for anyone who wants to experience the city beyond the typical tourist spots, this place will give you a comfortable and authentic base. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in the area—maybe to explore the Sunday market on Gldani Street or to catch a sunset from the terrace of the nearby Hotel Ritsa. The only thing I’d suggest is booking a little earlier

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.

• Exceptional – Jhanine from United Arab Emirates – April 10, 2024 (10/10)

  We had a wonderful 4 days in this apartment. The apartment is huge and it's really comfortable for us since we are a group of 6. Location is very good, it's very near the freedom square so transportation is very accessible and many attractions are just around the area. Gogi, the host, is very helpful and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay.

• Fantastic host, great experience, perfect place to stay in Old Tbilisi. – Chris from United States – January 31, 2024 (10/10)

  The location in Old Tbilisi was perfect… very close to places to eat and to attractions. National Gallery was just down the street, shops were less than two minutes away walking. Public transportation access was very close. The property owner was extremely friendly, helpful, and courteous. Checking in and checking out was a breeze, and the hospitality was excellent. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
  
  What could be improved: I would have stayed longer.

• Exceptional – Eldar from Russia – October 8, 2024 (10/10)

  Просто идеальное расположение, всё радом. Приветливый хозяин. высоченные потолки. Квартира находится в бывшем доходном доме нефтяного магната Монташова – почитайте, очень интересно!

• Exceptional – Olga from Russia – June 9, 2024 (10/10)

  Квартира чудесная во всех отношениях. Большая, комфортная, в самом центре, рядом все достопримечательности, много ресторанов, баров и магазинов. Удобные кровати, тихо. Мы были в 30 градусную жару но даже кондиционер не включали. Внутри дворика парковка, но лучше заранее предупредить владельца об этом. На кухне есть все необходимое для приготовления еды. Лучший опыт для большой компании.

• Замечательные апартаменты для большой компании в самом центре Тбилиси! – Liliya from Russia – May 10, 2024 (10/10)

  Просторные апартаменты в самом центре Тбилиси! Много воздуха и света, высокие потолки. Нас было 6 взрослых человек и все разместились с комфортом. На кухне есть все необходимое для приготовления пищи. Мы пользовались кухней для завтраков. Вечером поблизости множество кафе, ресторанчиков и фастфуда на любой вкус и кошелёк. Также рядом есть обменники с выгодным курсом, большой торговый центр с супермаркетом. Кроме того, в шаговой доступности небольшие магазинчики с продуктами, вином и бытовой химией. В апартаментах есть стиральная машина, нам она пригодилась очень. Также есть стиральный порошок. В двух шагах пекарня с вкуснейшим кахетинским хлебом, магазинчик с домашним сыром и овощная лавка. Въезд во двор через шлагбаум, есть парковка для вашего авто. Парковка при апартаментах это очень большая ценность для центра Тбилиси!
  Мы приехали поздно вечером, хозяин апартаментов нас встретил, любезно предложил довезти до обменника, чтобы мы могли поменять деньги. Большое спасибо Гога, все было замечательно!
  
  What could be improved: Нам все понравилось! Некоторые нюансы, которые могут быть важны другим путешественникам. Дом с историей, в апартаментах поживший паркет, который скрипит ) нас это забавляло и ничуть не мешало.
  На кухне нет микроволновки. Путешественникам с маленькими детьми надо это учитывать.
  Под апартаментами бар, который работает по выходным. Никакой громкой музыки, просто иногда бывает, что посетители выходят покурить и пообщаться во двор. Нам это абсолютно не мешало. Все спокойно, не громко совсем! Угулявшись по Тбилиси мы спали как младенцы)
