TL;DR
For short stays (e.g., 1 night before a flight), Booking.com is commonly checked, but during peak season (mid-August) listings fill up fast, so book early. Sutochno.ru is a popular alternative for finding apartments in Batumi's Old Town, such as near the Alphabet Tower.
For a one-night stay in Batumi (e.g., before a flight after moving from Kobuleti), checking Booking.com is a common approach for short bookings.
Dates in mid-August (up to around the 15th) tend to get booked quickly, so it's better to reserve accommodation in advance.
For late-August check-ins, it's worth arranging check-in/check-out times directly with the host in advance, especially with special schedules (e.g., dietary or medical needs).
As an alternative to Booking.com, some travelers use Sutochno.ru — one listing was found right near the Alphabet Tower in the Old Town; ask hosts how far the apartment is from the center.
