Gaba’s apartment with an old tbilisi view Overview

You know what really surprised me about Gaba’s apartment with an old tbilisi view? It’s exactly what the name promises – and honestly, that’s rare these days. I mean, when you see a place advertising “old city views,” you’re usually looking at a sliver of rooftops through a tiny window. Not here.

The first thing that hits you when you walk in is this massive window that frames Tbilisi like it’s a living painting. I’m talking about those weathered balconies with the carved wooden railings, the terra cotta rooftops that look like they’ve been baking in the sun for centuries, and – if you lean just right – you can catch glimpse of the old sulfur baths down in Abanotubani. The apartment itself feels authentically Georgian without being kitschy about it. Gaba (who, by the way, responds to messages incredibly fast) has managed to blend modern comfort with that old-world charm that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile rental. The furniture is solid – none of that flimsy IKEA stuff – and there are these little touches like traditional Georgian textiles and pottery that feel genuine, not staged for Instagram.

What really sold me though was the practical stuff. The kitchen is actually functional (I made khachapuri one morning, which felt mandatory), the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and the hot water pressure is surprisingly good for an older building. The neighborhood is perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the chaos of Rustaveli Avenue. You’re close enough to walk to the old town – maybe fifteen minutes down cobblestone streets that are charming during the day and beautifully lit at night – but far enough away that you’re not hearing drunk tourists stumbling around at 3 AM. I actually loved the evening routine of grabbing wine from the little shop downstairs (the owner speaks enough English to help you pick something decent) and watching the city lights come on from that incredible window. The rating of 9.7 makes complete sense once you’re there – it’s one of those places where every detail works together. Sure, it’s not a fancy hotel with a concierge, but Gaba is incredibly helpful with recommendations and actually knows the city well. He pointed me toward this tiny restaurant tucked away in the old town that I never would have found otherwise. If you’re the type of traveler who wants to feel connected to a place rather than insulated from it, this apartment delivers in a way that surprised me. Just don’t expect luxury amenities – expect something better: a genuine slice of Tbilisi life with one of the best views in the city.
