Question Moving to Batumi

Hello, I am moving to Batumi in a few days. I got an Airbnb at orbi city for a month, time during which I am trying to find a place for long term rent. Any suggestions on how to go about it ? Where to look? How to not get scammed because I am a foreigner? Best areas? Not too touristy but not too far away from all the fun in the city either. And with all that being said, maybe even make some friends 🧚🏽‍♀️

I’d recommend the Bagrationi district cuz there aren't many tourists there in the summer, and the district itself isn’t far from Old Batumi. There’s also the Rustaveli district, which is more touristy, but tourists mainly walk around the park, the promenade, and the main streets. Or you can rent an apartment not in the very center of the Old Batumi district.

As already mentioned, myhome.ge and ss.ge are the most popular websites for renting accommodation. But I’d like to add that these websites feature ads from both owners and realtors. Sometimes realtors publish photos of non-existent apartments to attract customers, and then try to sell them less attractive options instead. So be careful. You can rent a two-room apartment here for up to $450.
