Very Center of the Old City-Stylish apartment

Very Center of the Old City-Stylish apartment Overview

I fell in love with this place the instant I stepped out into the cobblestone lanes of Tbilisi. The building sits on 18 Giorgi Leonidze Street, just a stone’s throw from the buzzing market of Vake and the quiet, leafy rows of the Old Town. The moment I pushed open the door of the Very Center of the Old City‑Stylish apartment, I could hear the faint hum of traffic on the next block, but the room itself was a quiet oasis—soft, warm lighting, neutral décor, and those plush, inviting beds that made you want to collapse into them after a long day. The host, a local woman named Nino, greeted me with a smile that felt like a hug. Her check‑in was quick but personal; she handed me a small card with a handwritten note—“Enjoy your stay, and if you need anything, just knock.” That little gesture made the whole experience feel like in a friend’s apartment rather than a hotel.

The apartment itself is a clever blend of modern comforts and Georgian charm. The kitchen is fully equipped, but the real gem is the tiny balcony that opens onto a narrow alley where the scent of roasted chestnuts wafts from the nearby bakery on Rustaveli Avenue. I could hear the distant chatter of tourists and the occasional trumpet from the church on the hill, which gave me an unmistakable sense of place. The apartment’s plumbing is spotless, and the Wi‑Fi is reliable enough for streaming a movie or sending a postcard—no hidden fees, which is a relief. Parking is a bit of a hustle; you have to weave through the narrow lanes of the Old Town, but there’s a small paid lot on Sioni Street just a block away, and the staff there are friendly and quick to help with the meter.

Noise is surprisingly low, even though the building is right on the edge of the bustling market street. The only thing that rattles is the occasional helicopter from the airport, but that’s a city sound you’ll grow used to. I found myself waking up around 7 am to the soft rustle of leaves and the distant call of a street vendor selling fresh apricots. I’d step onto the balcony, sip a strong Georgian coffee from the local café on Kote Gvazava Street, and watch the city wake up. In the evenings, the lights of the Parliament building glow from across the river, and the air carries a faint, sweet perfume of blooming jasmine from the gardens at the hilltop—such a soothing backdrop after a day of exploring.

I did notice a few minor quirks. The bathroom’s shower head is a bit old‑school, with a narrow spray that could use a better angle, but it’s easily fixed if you ask for a replacement. The room’s windows don’t have blackout curtains, so if you’re an early riser or a light sleeper, you might want to bring a sleep mask. But honestly, these are small cracks in an otherwise flawless experience. The apartment’s location is a dream for anyone who wants to live like a local: you can hop on the bus to the Botanical Garden in 15 minutes, or walk to the ancient city walls for a sunset stroll. The convenience of the nearby metro station on Tbilisi Avenue means you’re never more than a 10‑minute walk from the city’s main attractions, yet the building itself feels like a hidden gem tucked away from the tourist crowds.

For anyone planning a stay in Tbilisi, this place is a solid choice. It’s comfortable, genuinely local, and the host’s personal touch makes you feel at home. I left with a suitcase full of memories and a heart full of gratitude for the small, everyday moments that made this stay unforgettable—like the crackling of the fire in the living room during winter, or sight of the city’s skyline flickering against the evening sky. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a small family, you’ll find that this apartment offers a slice of Tbilisi’s soul that you won’t easily forget.

Best hotels in Tbilisi range from charming boutique properties in the historic Old Town to elegant hillside hotels with stunning views of the Mtkvari River and Narikala Fortress.

• Highly recommended – Ron from Israel – July 12, 2023 (10/10)

  We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed our time. The apartment is cozy, well-renovated, and has all the accommodations needed for a short or long stay. It is located just three minutes from Freedom Square, so all the old city attractions are within walking distance. The apartment also faces an inner yard, making it very quiet.
  
  The owners were also very nice, responsive, and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing worth mentioning.

• Great place to stay and explore Tbilisi, stylish and comfortable apartment in the best location. – Belinda from United Arab Emirates – October 12, 2022 (10/10)

  Amazing location, super central and walking distance to everything without being noisy. The hosts were really kind and responsive.

• Overall a good apartment but I think it's too expensive for what you get – Vera from United States – August 12, 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment is right in the center of the city, very easy to walk to any attractions, close to all the shops and action.
  The hosts are very responsive and nice. The apartment is renovated, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Wi-Fi is good and steady. The entrance is from the courtyard. The neighborhood is very quiet.
  
  What could be improved: There was a smell in the apartment, probably coming from the outside, it wasn't very strong but it bothered me.
  The couch in the living room is uncomfortable. It can be made into a bed, but it's sagging and you can feel the wooden frame in the middle. The TV isn't really located in a good spot and it's small, so we didn't use it. The bed in the bedroom is comfortable, but you sleep with your face to the entrance door, and there's light coming in the morning. If you close the curtain between the rooms, it gets hot because the air-conditioner is in the living room area. The housekeeper should be doing a better job – there was dust on all the surfaces and lampshades.
  When you book the apartment, they request an advance payment of half the rental fee. You will also have to pay fees and commissions when making the transfer. The cancellation policy is pretty strict, too.

• Все супер! – Nadezhda from Russia – May 27, 2025 (10/10)

  Замечательные апартаменты. Чисто, уютно, стильно) на 3-4 человек апартаменты подойдут. Нас было 3. Радушные хозяева, всегда на связи и помогают при наличии вопросов. Бесконтактное заселение. Заселили чуть раньше положенного, без каких-то вопросов. Нахождение апартаментов тоже хорошее, 5 мин от площади свободы. Вход в апартаменты через внутренний дворик, довольно тихо. В апартаментах есть все необходимое – утюг, кондиционеры, кухонная утварь, посуды очень много. Постельное белье белоснежное, комфортное к телу, подушки очень удобные. Спасибо! Приедет к Лаше и Тамаре еще! Только к ним теперь ♥️

• Замечательные апартаменты в тихом месте! – Katrina from Latvia – December 28, 2023 (9/10)

  Хозяева во всём шли навстречу. Очень добрые и отзывчивые люди. Они любезно скинули фото-инструкцию, как добраться до апартаментов. Но, будьте готовы, что таксист не сможет найти адрес, как это вышло у меня. Апартаменты в очень тихом месте, близко от центра старого города, буквально 3 минуты пешком. Нам это очень облегчило любое отправление на экскурсии. Вся нужная посуда и вообще удобства были на месте. Хозяева работают рядом в магазинчике, из-за чего была возможность пару раз с ними встретиться лично и немного поговорить. Хозяин даже угостил нас домашней чачей. Соседи вокруг тоже очень добрые и ненавязчивые люди. Мы остались довольны и рекомендуем эти апартаменты!
  
  What could be improved: К сожалению, планировка душа слегка неудобная, нет двери в "кабинке", чтобы закрыться и не затопить всю ванную комнату. Также мы обнаружили одного таракана, но это не вина хозяев, так как квартира действительно очень чистая. Мы обнаружили его в ванной, от чего сделали вывод, что он пришёл по вентиляции.

• Very Good – Mariia from Russia – September 5, 2023 (8/10)

  Понравились аппартаменты, хороший ремонт, удобная кровать, отличная сантехника. Вся бытовая техника и даже больше! Расположение аппартаментов великолепное, доступны в двух шагах кафе, кулинария, магазины. Близко все достопримечательности. Хозяева написали заранее подробную инструкцию как добраться до аппартаментов и поинтересовались временем пребывания.
  
  What could be improved: Нет терминала для оплаты по карте Visa или Mastercard, взяли наличными. Нет чеков подтверждения оплаты.
