Convenient inn near Avlabari
Stayed here for spring break. Arrived and left in the middle of the night (due to cancelled flights), but the innkeeper, Georgiy, stayed up late to check us in, and also drove us to the airport. The room was small but quite comfortable. The breakfasts were a great way to begin a day of exploring Tbilisi. It was convenient to return here by metro, although a short walk to the noisier center. The surrounding area seems quite old; there are several convenience stores, bakeries (delicious!), and cafes/restaurants, which are cheaper but comparable to those downtown on Rustaveli avenue. We liked to relax in the courtyard (with a hanging vine) in the evenings, and chat about the city with Georgiy. He also arranged a day tour for us with Yuri, a driver in the neighborhood. Yuri showed us lots of historic churches outside the city, Uplistsikhe (ancient cliff settlement), the Gori fortress, Stalin's house, and then took us to his aunt's estate, where we were treated to a memorable feast with homemade wine. In short, we experienced the legendary Georgian hospitality, and will definitely return.
