What's the first thing you check when choosing accommodation for a stay abroad of a month or longer?

I'm looking into staying in Georgia (the Caucasus) for a month, and I plan to check the heating, hot water, internet speed, and location (transportation and supermarkets) first. I've heard that booking short-term accommodation for the first week and then deciding after seeing places in person is the safest approach, so I'm planning to do it that way.

For those of you who have stayed long-term in the Philippines, is there anything you'd say is an absolute must-check when finding a place?

By the way, I'm leaving a link to a site that collects information about accommodation and living in Georgia in Korean: https://georgia-koreatown.pages.dev/
