Boutique52 Old Tbilisi Apartment

Boutique52 Old Tbilisi Apartment Overview

Nestled in the historic heart of Tbilisi, Boutique52 Old Tbilisi Apartment feels like a secret flat you stumble upon while wandering the cobblestone lanes of the Old City. I first spotted it while chasing a stray pigeon that darted between the nearest tea stalls on 52 Dzmebi Zubalashvilebi Street – the building’s façade is a patchwork of faded plaster and rusted iron balconies that give off that old‑world charm you can’t find in the new malls. The apartment is a bright, airy space with a surprisingly modern kitchenette, but the real charm is in its high ceilings and the original wooden beams that still crisscross the living area. Honestly, you can hear the distant church bells from Sioni Cathedral echoing through the thin walls – a constant reminder that you’re living in a city that never sleeps, but also never forgets its past.

The check‑in was a breeze – the host was a sweet Georgian woman who greeted us with a warm smile and a quick tour of the Wi‑Fi passwords, which actually work better than most city hotels I’ve been to. I mean, the signal is spot on, even in the narrow alleys. Parking is a bit of a gamble – there’s no on‑site garage, but you can usually find a spot in the street right outside the building if you’re willing to pass a few meters of traffic. It’s a bit noisy during the day with the scooters and the occasional tourist bus, but by 10 pm the street is hushed, and you can hear the rhythmic drumming of the old cobbles under your feet as you stroll to the nearby Mtatsminda funicular. The staff are friendly and always eager to recommend the best spots – the local khachapuri shop on Mtskheta Street, for instance, is a must‑try if you want authentic cheese toast. Parking on the street is free, but you’ll need a permit if you stay overnight – the city has a strict curfew for visitors, so it’s worth checking that before you drive in.

If you’re looking for local flavor, you’ll love walking down the bus stop near the apartment and grabbing a cup of Georgian coffee – the beans are roasted right in the city, and the aroma is practically intoxicating. The building’s rear courtyard is a quiet oasis, with a small fountain that’s the perfect spot to sit and watch the sunset over the ancient rooftops. I was stunned by how the smell of woodsmoke from the old stoves mingles with the fresh scent of rain on stone – it’s a sensory experience that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a living postcard. If you’re traveling during the busy summer season, keep in mind that the apartment can get a bit hot in the mornings, but the built‑in fans and the open windows help keep the airflow flowing. In the quieter winter months, the brick walls keep the heat in, and the entire place feels like a cozy, rustic bed that’s just a few steps away from the bustling markets and the iconic Mtatsminda Park, where you can take a ride on the historic funicular and get a panoramic view of the city. Honestly, staying here is a hands‑on, immersive way to experience Tbilisi – you’re not just a tourist; you’re part of the city’s rhythm, its history, its everyday life.

Reviews of Boutique52 Old Tbilisi Apartment

• Cozy Retreat Near Shota Rustaveli Avenue with Attentive Hosting – Basem from United Arab Emirates – August 10, 2024 (8/10)

  Located on a very quiet street, this apartment is just a few steps away from Shota Rustaveli Avenue and the metro station. Situated on the ground floor/street level, you may occasionally hear foot traffic from passersby. The kitchen is basic but equipped with all you need for a short stay. While the building is old, the apartment itself is renovated and well-maintained, except for minor issues like cigarette burns on the sofa. Although it is not a large space, it is comfortable and well-planned. The street where the apartment is located is at a higher elevation than Shota Rustaveli Avenue, which means a good workout climbing up and down. This is not a downside of the apartment, but it is something to be aware of if you are walking around with small children, a stroller, or a person with limited mobility. There is also free street parking available. The best aspect of this flat is the host, Sophie; she is very responsive, friendly, polite, and flexible.
