Modern 1BR apt w spacious balcony & a bathtub Overview

I pulled into the little block of 3 Dimitri Arakishvili Street, Vake, 0162 Tbilisi, Georgia, and was hit by that instant mix of modern glass and the faint smell of roasted chestnuts drifting from a corner kiosk. Vake is one of those neighborhoods that’s almost a suburb, but with the buzz of a city right next door. The building itself is pretty unassuming—just a gray façade and a single door—but the moment you step in, there’s a warm, almost apologetic welcome from the receptionist who hands you a keycard and flashes a grin that says, “You’re in the right place.” Honestly, the check‑in was quick; no long forms, just a quick chat about the city’s quirks, and you’re out the door with a keycard that feels like a passport to an apartment that’s been curated for travelers who want a slice of everyday life.

The apartment is a solid 1‑bedroom, but I was blown away by how spacious it feels. The living area spills straight onto a balcony that wraps around the back of the building, giving you a panoramic view of Vake’s tree‑lined avenues and the distant silhouette of Mtatsminda. You can hear the distant honk of buses and the occasional shout from a nearby kids’ soccer game—quiet enough to fall asleep to, but lively enough to remind you that you’re in the heart of the city. The balcony is the real highlight: a small table, a couple of chairs, and a tiny potted plant that you can sit at while sipping a freshly brewed Georgian coffee. And the bathtub—yes, it’s a full tub, not a spa tub. The water is warm enough to relax after a day of exploring, and the view from the tub is surprisingly Instagram‑worthy: the city lights flickering across the rooftops, the scent of street food mingling with the night air.

The apartment’s kitchen is surprisingly well‑equipped; there’s a small stove, a fridge, a kettle that boils in a few minutes, and even a small collection of spices that hint at local flavors. I made a quick breakfast of toast and local cheese, which tasted like something you’d get from a family’s table. The bedroom is just a bed, a wardrobe, and a small lamp that gives off a gentle glow. The room is quiet, which is a relief after the morning traffic. I did notice a faint hum from the HVAC system, but it’s no big deal. For parking, there’s a small, paid lot right in front of the building, but the rates are a bit steep if you’re staying for a week or more. If you’re a local or have a car, you can find parking on the street in Vake, but just remember the one‑way system and the occasional “stop” sign that can throw you off.

One of the best things about staying here is the sense of place. I walked down the street and found a tiny bakery that sells fresh khachapuri and the best coffee in the area. Just a block away, there’s a small park where locals jog at dawn and kids play. And if you want a quick trip to the Old Town, it’s only a 15‑minute walk—though the streets get a bit busy in the summer. Speaking of seasons, the apartment feels cozy in the winter; the heating is decent, and the windows let in just enough light to keep the place from feeling too dark. In the summer, the balcony becomes a perfect spot for a sunset drink, though you might hear the city’s nightlife creeping into the quiet.

All in all, this place feels like a home away from home, with a touch

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Tbilisi through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s wine culture and architectural heritage.

Reviews of Modern 1BR apt w spacious balcony & a bathtub

• Stylish, cozy apt with a nice view, but with a dirty floor – Mark from Russia – December 1, 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment is cozy, stylish, and convenient. The location is perfect if you enjoy staying in Vake, and the view is gorgeous. Despite its issues, the apartment is worth the price.
  
  What could be improved: Firstly, the dirty floor. I’m not sure if a dirty floor is acceptable if people are used to wearing boots at home, but in that case, it would be better to provide guests with disposable slippers.
  
  Secondly, the elevator didn’t work for the correct floor (10th). We either had to walk upstairs from the 9th floor or downstairs from the 12th, as the 11th floor didn’t work either. 🤦🏼‍♂️
  
  Finally, there was an offensive phrase directed at a Russian ship used as the Wi-Fi password, which is highly unprofessional. It was unclear whether the host was against Russians as a whole or simply expressing a political position. Either way, as Russians, it made us feel unwelcome.

• Exceptional – Mohamed from Kuwait – September 22, 2022 (10/10)
