The best Airbnbs in Tbilisi, Georgia

Neighbourhood: Vake

If you want the amenities of an Airbnb, but the luxury touches of a hotel, this plush flat in the sought-after Vake neighbourhood is a great option. Taking design cues directly from the famous Stamba Hotel down the road, it’s decorated with rich green velvet beds, cork ceilings and industrial-chic lighting. The fast Wi-Fi and desk make this the ideal spot for digital nomads looking for a base. There’s a stunning four-metre balcony overlooking a quiet courtyard and plenty of tropical houseplants. Don’t worry though, you won’t be expected to water them. The host has their very own plant babysitter. 

Time Out says: Vake is considered to be Tbilisi’s most upmarket neighbourhood that’s home to expats, diplomats and wealthy locals. There’s fine dining, cocktail bars and coffee shops galore here. We recommend Rtveli for a proper Georgian barbecue 

Sleeps: Two guests. One bedroom

Price: From £145 (504 in Georgian Lari) per night

Neighbourhood: Sololaki, Old Town

One of the best things about Tbilisi is the so-called Italian courtyards, communal spaces where neighbours chat and laundry dries in the sun. This studio offers that exact experience. It’s located next to the famous Lado Gudiashvili Square, freshly renovated but still holding onto its historic roots. It’s simple, clean, and incredibly central. But did you see that price? This is a seriously good deal for those travelling on a budget who still want to stay in a prime location.

Time Out says: This very well located Airbnb is a five minutes walk from the metro station Liberty Square and close to a bus stop that will take you straight to the airport

Sleeps: Two people. One bedroom

Price: From £25 (86 Georgian Lari) per night

Neighbourhood: Chugureti

Those who want to experience ’real’ Georgian living, this is the spot. This 19th century home comes with ultra thick walls, built by German settlers apparently, and features a stunning historical balcony overlooking a quiet street. It’s the kind of terrace you’d see on postcards. Inside, the flat is filled with art and traditional details, yet still has high speed Wi-Fi and air con. It’s authentic, warm and massive compared to modern studios. 

Time Out says: Grab a specialty coffee, browse vinyl records or sip craft beers in Fabrika Tbilisi, the artsy cultural centre in the city

Sleeps: Three guests. One bedroom

Price: From £53 (184 Georgian Lari) per night

Neighbourhood: Chugureti

If you’re here for the city’s Berlin vibe, stay in Chugureti. Situated on Agmashenebeli Avenue, one of Tbilisi’s most vibrant, historic boulevards, this multi-level penthouse with three bedrooms is the perfect spot for a group of friends. The exposed brick, massive industrial windows and a mezzanine bedroom scream cool. There are stairs before and after the building lift, but the payoff — unwinding with a glass of amber wine on that private terrace high above the city — is more than worth the climb.

Time Out says: Stop by Luca Polare for a scoop of artisnal ice cream and finish it off with hearty Georgian fare at Cafe de Paris. You can walk to the Old Town in 15 minutes

Sleeps: Six people. Three bedrooms

Price: From £132 (458 Georgian Lari) per night

Neighbourhood: Sololaki, Old Town

This property appears on almost every wishlist for Tbilisi, and for one specific reason: the bathtub. It sits under a massive glass ceiling that overlooks the Narikala Fortress, meaning you can soak while watching the city lights or the stars (light pollution allowing). The rest of the apartment is equally impressive, with a private terrace that feels like a VIP box for the entire city. It’s high-end, polished and undeniably sexy — a perfect spot for you and your boo.

Time Out says: Shardeni Street is two steps away where all the bars are located. Freedom Square is also 5 minutes away, as well as one of the largest shopping centre Galeria Tbilisi. Further afield you’ll fine the Tbilisi Botanical Garden

Sleeps: Three guests. One bedroom

Price: From £117 (406 Georgian Lari) per night 

Neighbourhood: City centre, Old Tbilisi 

You may have gathered by now, but the best way to enjoy historic Tbilisi is from up high. This top floor flat comes with sweeping views across the city and a huge terrace equipped with sun loungers. It offers a front-row seat to the Mtatsminda TV Tower, which glitters like the Eiffel Tower at night. Inside, there’s a workspace that actually makes you want to open your laptop. The bathroom view alone is worth the price of admission.

Time Out says: Visit the Mtatsminda Park, a high altitude  amusement park on top of a hill overlooking the city

Sleeps: Two people. One bedroom

Price: From £135 (469 Georgian Lar) per night

Neighbourhood: Vera

If you are travelling with a squad, this is the one. Located in a historic building on Melikishvili Avenue, this duplex loft is enormous, featuring four bedrooms and high ceilings. It even has a high-up indoor net you can a read your book from, and a terraced balcony, obvs. The old-world charm of Tbilisi (that entrance hall!) is mixed with modern comforts like air conditioning, a TV and a modern kitchen. It’s walkable to the Concert Hall and the wine bars of Vera. 

Time Out says: Vera is a central, leafy and bohemian neighbourhood in the city that’s a hotspot for coffee shops and natural Georgian wine bars. We recommend Vino Underground in Galaktion Tabidze Street

Sleeps: Eight people. Four bedrooms

Price: From £140 (486 Georgian Lari) per night

Neighbourhood: Vake

Vake can be busy, but this penthouse offers a retreat right next to the green lungs of the city, Mziuri Park. You can even spot some animals in the nearby Tbilisi Zoo from the balcony. It’s a newly built, top-floor apartment (16th floor!) with a large terrace that offers panoramic views of the city and mountains. The design is crisp and modern, featuring a cosy sofa zone and a location just steps from a 24/7 premium gym.

Sleeps: Four people. Two bedrooms

Price: From £91 (316 Georgian Lari) per night 

Neighbourhood: Mtatsminda 

Located on the top floor of a 1930s stone building, this loft offers one of the best terraces in the city. The floor-to-ceiling windows ensure you wake up to sunshine and views of the TV Tower. It’s situated just off Rustaveli Avenue, meaning you are central to everything (museums, opera, metro) but tucked away enough to sleep soundly thanks to the room darkening curtains. The vintage furnishings give it a warm, lived-in feel. And you can live it in, well for a bit, if you want. This Airbnb is open to long stays.

Time Out says: Rustaveli Avenue is a cultural boulevard stretching from Freedom Square to Rustaveli metro station in central Tbilisi. It’s a great base for first timers who want to explore the best of the city, including the flagship Georgian National Musuem

Sleeps: Two people. One bedroom

Price: From £98 (340 Georgian Lari) per night

Neighbourhood: Marjanishvili

This compact Airbnb in a historical building is a great place to rest your weary head after indulging in the city’s top nightlife. Those Berlin comparisons don’t come from nowhere. You’re close to the famous techno club Bassiani here. But the highlight of this apartment is really the price. It’s a truly very affordable pad in a trendy neighbourhood allowing you to maximise time spent sightseeing and dancing the night away.

Time Out says: Marjanishvili is the beating heart of the city’s creativity. Go to Dry Bridge market for a huge array of vintage jewellery and objects from the Soviet era
