Question 1

Is Isani a good district to rent an apartment in?

Accepted Answer

Yes: it is an inexpensive district only about 10 minutes from the centre by metro.

Isani is in the east of the city, with two metro stations, Isani and Avlabari. Avlabari is an old quarter with the Sameba Cathedral, from which the centre is a stone's throw away; further east are old quarters, new builds and a market. Prices here are lower than in the right-bank centre, while the metro gets you there in roughly 10 minutes.

The downsides: some of the housing is old stock without a lift; it is noisy around the market and the main streets; and new builds often sit next to ongoing construction. It suits people who want to save without giving up proximity to the centre. [Listings in Isani](/en/tbilisi/isani).

Question 2

How do I get from Isani to the centre of Tbilisi?

Accepted Answer

By metro, about 10 minutes: the Isani and Avlabari stations are on the same line as the centre.

Avlabari is the district's station closest to the centre: the Sameba Cathedral is nearby, and from here you can even walk to the right-bank centre across the river. From Isani station the ride is slightly longer but still roughly 10 minutes to the central stations.

Buses run to the centre along the main avenues, and a taxi is a short ride, but at rush hour the bridges and approaches to the centre get congested, so the metro is more reliable on time. When choosing a flat in Isani, look at the distance to the station: the blocks by the metro and the outer blocks near the market differ noticeably in convenience.
