I was drawn to the location. It's central, everything's close. But there's a huge catch. The complex consists of two buildings (A and B), which are right next to each other. My apartment is in the "inner corner." This means I don't see the sun at all. I have to turn on the lights during the day. I can't open the curtains—the neighbor from the building across the street lives literally 5 meters away, and we wave to each other at breakfast. If you rent an apartment here, only the outer perimeter with a view of the city or the sea! The "inner" apartments are like dark wells.
Neighbors
Lots of daily rentals. Constant turnover. Arabs, Turks, Russians. It feels like a train station.
Noise
The audibility is phenomenal. I know what show my neighbor is watching. Plus, since the buildings are so close together, the sound in the courtyard echoes upwards. If someone sneezes on the balcony on the fifth floor, you can hear it on the 20th.
Renovation
The renovations are recent, many done to look "expensive and rich"
View
A view of the neighbor's wall and someone's drying laundry.
About the building
General
The building looks really cool from the outside, with lighting in the evenings and stylish balconies. The lobby is absolutely stunning, with 5-meter ceilings, chandeliers, and sofas. But once you get past the lobby... The elevators are a pain. There aren't enough for the number of apartments. They break down and glitch. I've had to walk all the way up to the 15th floor.
Yard
There's no yard. The building takes up almost the entire lot. When you step outside, there's the sidewalk and the road.
Utilities Stability
The lights are rarely turned off, but without gas in winter, using just one air conditioner is expensive (light bills in winter are sky-high, around 150-200 lari).
About the district
General
I left the house and 100 meters away was Batumi Mall (Carrefour, a gym, and clothing stores). Across the street was McDonald's (the futuristic one). The sea was a 3-minute walk away. Restaurants for every taste were within a 5-minute radius. Samikitno, Ukrainochka, sushi—it was all here.
Transport Accessibility
The McDonald's interchange is the city's main one. You can go anywhere (to the train station, the airport, or Sarpi) without transfers.
Noise
It's very noisy. Street musicians, cars drifting at night, sirens. There's no peace here.
