TL;DR
Travelers report that reliable Batumi rentals are found via Booking, WhatsApp, and Sutochno; in the Orbi towers, hosts often reply quickly and at least one stay in Orbi Sea Tower was described as fully legitimate. For monthly stays, look specifically for agents handling monthly rentals, while short stays are easier through platforms with reviews and direct messaging.
In Batumi’s Orbi towers, it may be easy to switch to another unit if one host is unresponsive: one recent traveler quickly found a different apartment where the host replied promptly on both Booking and WhatsApp, which is a good sign before check-in.
If you need a longer stay, travelers specifically look for real estate agents in Batumi who handle monthly rentals rather than only short-term apartments.
One verified short-stay option was an apartment in Orbi Sea Tower booked through Sutochno: according to a traveler, check-in was straightforward, the deposit was paid on the platform, and the remainder was paid on arrival.
At that Orbi Sea Tower apartment, the host handled issues quickly: when the unit had no microwave, a new one was delivered the same day within a few hours. That suggests decent service and local support.
For apartment check-in in Batumi, some hosts can arrange airport transfer at roughly the cost of a regular taxi, though travelers also reported getting there easily on their own with Yandex Taxi.
According to one stay report from Orbi Sea Tower, the advertised appliances were working and there were no elevator queues, which is a useful detail for Batumi tower buildings where elevator congestion can be an issue.
