TL;DR
Ortachala/Krtsanisi and Guramishvili suit visitors who prefer a quieter base with everyday amenities and transport, but fewer cafés and nightlife options. Vake is a desirable, convenient area, though accommodation is usually more expensive.
Vake is a highly sought-after and comfortable Tbilisi neighborhood, but accommodation prices are inflated by demand. It works well if you have the budget and want to stay in one of the city’s most desirable districts.
Guramishvili is a reasonable choice for a quieter stay, with parks, small green spaces and everyday services nearby. Public transport connections are described as convenient for reaching other parts of Tbilisi, including the centre.
Ortachala, including nearby Krtsanisi and Kalandadze Street, suits visitors who do not need to be surrounded by busy tourist life. The area has relatively few cafés and entertainment venues, but shops, banks and essential services are available, while central Tbilisi is not far away.
