Albanians are known for their hospitality, but the owner actually came to the bus station to pick me up because he said that taxis were too expensive, which was a pleasant surprise for someone who travels as much as I do. The apartment itself was fully furnished with all of the comforts of home, and was located on the edge of the city for quietness yet right down the hill from a bus stop. It's a bit more troublesome than living in the city center, but well worth it if you enjoy peaceful sleep.

Albanians don’t use shower curtains, so be careful when you shower. 😁
