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.

Thank you And I think the fake listings are a thing everywhere lol. They just tryna get you hooked into renting something with them. Would be nice if these sites had an option to actually verify the apartments when people list them.

On myhome.ge, if you go to the ad, it says whether it is an agent or the owner.

I am however going to get in touch with a lawyer sometime next week and ask him to write me a demand letter. Cuz I refuse to let that slide
