Guest Reviews
- corine (9/5): - Le logement est idéalement situé à proximité de la place Skandeberg.
Il nous a été très facile de communiquer avec Artur.
Les lits sont très confortables. Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit avant d'aller à l'aéroport et le logement nous convenait parfaitement. Néanmoins pour des séjours plus longs, la cuisine n'est pas pratique. La table est logée dans un endroit exigu.
L'eau de la douche s'écoule par un siphon au milieu de la salle d'eau et mouille le tapis qui se trouve sur son passage.
- Violeta (10/5): - Tutto perfetto, accoglienza, disponibilità, collaborazione.
Struttura ultra centrale,

- Simona (8/5): -
- Silvia (9/5): A due passi dal centro - L'appartamento è stato in parte ammodernato ed è dotato di tutto il necessario per un soggiorno anche lungo. La posizione è decisamente vincente. Facilissimo il check in, anche grazie al proprietario molto gentile e disponibile. Ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo. Alcuni dettagli sono da migliorare: infissi e tapparelle sono da rifare (anche per il rumore) e anche la cucina è migliorabile.
- Martina (10/5): Bellissimo - Era tutto perfetto Mi è piaciuto tutto
- Romano (8/5): -
- fabio (10/5): Sempre il top - Quarta volta in questo appartamento, e mi sono sempre trovato benissimo , e ogni volta che sono stato, ho trovato nuove ristrutturazioni, che sono veramente il top. Appartamento molto spazioso, con due camere da letto (totale di 2 letti matrimoniale e 1 singolo), cucina ben accessoriata e bagno con tanto di bidet. Torno sempre qui con molto piacere. La persona che lo gestisce, una persona veramente fantastica.
- Kliment (10/5): -

- Matt T. (10/5): Great apartment in a perfect location - Artur the host is very nice, friendly, helpful, and has a great sense of humor. The apartment is very spacious, clean, and well appointed. It is on a quiet side street abutted by a playground on one side, and located close to a main street and skandeberg square on the other. It's ideal.
- Noemi (9/5): Soggiorno ottimo - L'appartamento è a due minuti a piedi dalla piazza principale, vicino al negozio del proprietario Artur che è sempre gentile e disponibile. Parla benissimo l'italiano ed è sempre pronto a dare consigli e aiutare, rispondendo anche molto velocemente ai messaggi.
La struttura è grande e pulita, l'unico difetto è la doccia così come già segnalato da altre persone.
Per il resto tutto perfetto! Assolutamente consigliato. Se dovessi tornare a Tirana, sicuramente soggiornerei di nuovo qui.

- Cemal (9/5): - Ev yeni ve genel olarak rahattı. Temizlik iyiydi, temel ihtiyaçlar karşılanmıştı. Konfor ve hizmet açısından beklentimizi tam olarak karşılamasa da fena bir deneyim değildi
- Valentin (6/5): - Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr gut, die Klimaanlage funktioniert bestens und es war sauber. Schlafzimmer und Wohnzimmer sind ok.
Artur ist super nett und hilfsbereit! Bad und Küche lassen zu wünschen übrig. Küche ist in die Jahre gekommen und mit der vorhandenen Ausstattung lässt sich eigentlich nicht kochen. Maximal ein Spiegelei...
Das Duschen im Bad ist auch Abenteuerlich, wie die anderen Bewertungen allerdings zeigen auch schon länger....
- Ольга (10/5): - Отличная квартира с хорошей локацией,хозяин дружелюбный всегда на связи и готовый помочь,везде чисто,кровать удобная, постельное чистое,всем советую Всем было отлично,

L'accueil chaleureux.
La clim.
Je recommande
- Reiter (10/5): - zentrale Lage, sehr netter Gastgeber, große Wohnung
- Chantal (9/5): Super plek voor city trip zeer centraal gelegen - Het appartement zit op een goede centrale lokatie. We werden geweldig geholpen. Onze wasmachine deed niet wat hij moest doen en toen werd de was voor ons gedaan.
In de keuken een elektrisch gasfornuis, tosti apparaat en magnetron en een waterkoker. Maar wel maar 1 koffie lepeltje en geen handenhandoek voor als je je handen hebt gewassen. Dat is misschien nog een tip...
Onze pubers mochten tot 2keer toe elektrische steps lenen vanuit zijn mobile phone winkel.
We kregen diverse tips voor restaurants leuke wijken en vragen die wij hadden werden snel beantwoord.
We moesten onze oudste zoon van vliegveld ophalen en kregen met zijn hulp een zeer goede prijs voor de taxi retour..
In iedere kamer airco. Parkeren in de parkeergarage om de hoek voor €5 per dag De douchedeur was er voor de helft af en de douche stang zat los. Dus voorzichtig douchen om niet de hele badkamer nat te maken. Het 2de eenpersoonsbed was een opklapbed wat te kort was dus voeten staken uit bed.
- cristian (10/5): -
- Ognjen (10/5): Exceptional - Taller people might find it hard to use the toilet because it's squeezed right next to the shower.
- Katie (6/5): Tirana is the best! - Great host and location! Apartment is all that you need. Many offerings in the apartment did not work. There was a lot of stuff left everywhere, but not appropriate for paying guests. Only one Aircon worked.
- Marina (9/5): Superb -
- Hirak (10/5): Exceptional - Artur was really co-operative and friendly. I highly recommend this accommodation.
- Özge (10/5): The host was incredibly understanding and helpful - The home was so clean

- Tešić (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, very quiet and peaceful, lovely host and as someone coming from Balkans the fact that u open the window and u can smell lipa tree melted my soul.
- Leanne (10/5): Exceptional - Artur was really helpful and friendly, would highly recommend booking a place to stay just for his tips and helpfulness!
Flat had everything you need for a short city break
- Michaela (10/5): Great choice for a city trip - Very nice staff, clean and comfortable apartment, perfectly located. Really enjoyed our stay there! Everything was perfect :-)
- Shala (10/5): Beautiful - Property was very nice and clean. What it makes it very good it is the location which is in the heart of Tirana. The host is very friendly and helpful with any tips or suggestions. All good. Can’t complain. Nice and clean , city centre location and value for money
- Robin (10/5): Exceptional -

- Teuta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Cheap in the center and good host Nothing

- Sonia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pierrette (8/5): Very good - Host was very responsive and kind. Great location less than 1 km from town square. Shower stall seem to be missing a door, so there was always water on the floor. At least mop there to dry it up.
- Bela (10/5): PERFECT - Everything There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like, everything was good
- Vivian (9/5): Superb - Great host who is very responsive and provide tips on how to explore the city. Well located which is close to bus stop. Convenient, clean , safe and quiet. Highly recommend
- Serita (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, in the city center, walking distance from the main attractions. Artur was wonderful and helped us with the luggage, printing our boarding passes and assisting with taxis. The apartment is big and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen very well equipped with everything.
- Nadia (9/5): Superb - I liked my room, lving room and the balcony area. Also the location was good too. Nothing, everything was great.
- Elena (10/5): Beyond excellent, supernal experience at 'Spiranca' - This property and its owner are phenomenal. Seamless airport transfer, driver patiently waiting for late arrival. Easy key retrieval in a mobile shop next door. Artur communicated with us all the way and was beyond helpful. The apartment is spacious and gorgeous, top quality home environment, furniture, bedding and appliances. Everything is new, perfectly functioning, and sparkling clean. Location cannot be better, literally in the Skanderbeg square, but facing a quiet street, Plenty of restaurants and shops. Buses and cabs are a few feet away. Beautiful, clean, easy and very comfortable. Amazing experience, will book again.
- Carmen (10/5): Very good - I recommend this accommodation. Everything was ok, apartment equipped with everything you need, clean, well located, 2 minutes from Skandebeg market and very close to all tourist attractions. Public transport is not necessary to visit the city. Only for Bunkart 2 you need to take the blue bus 11. Also from Bunkart2 you can walk 5 min and reach the cable car. Arthur is very friendly and available for anything. I had the best recommendations to spend a nice time in his city. Arthur also helped us to get boarding passes. Everything was ok.
- Avril (10/5): Fantastic city break, we will return! - Lovely apartment in a fantastic location, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Artur the host was very helpful and ensured we got the best from our trip, he recommended places to visit and some very good restaurants. Artur also arranged our airport transfers for us!
- Arber (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kit (8/5): Comfortable and central. Artur is the man! - Artur the property manager was incredibly helpful. The apartment is in the very centre of the city close to Skanderbeg square. There was plenty of space for 3 adults. We had no issues with the property at all. It is dated but that fits with it being an actual apartment within Tirana, rather than a soulless hotel.
- Mmajamm (9/5): Superb - Great location and very helpful owner. Apartment was nice and cozy with everything you need.
- Michael (10/5): An excellent host with a lovely appartment. - Artur was very helpful with everything. We used his services to get picked up from the airport, and we got a SIM card from him. He was a mine of information and went above and beyond to be helpful. He is the perfect host when you go to a new country for the first time. I recommend the location as it is only a couple of minutes walk from the central square. nothing
- Christine (10/5): We loved Tirana, perfect location and would definitely stay there again. - So close to the centre of Tirana and Skanderberg Square. Artur is such a friendly, helpful fellow. Great little apartment, very clean and everything we needed. The keys can be tricky
- Sissy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leah (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, clean apartment with everything we needed for our stay. Our host was friendly, helpful and easy to communication with. Would definetely recommend!
- Kumaresan (8/5): Quality accommodation in the heart of Tirana with air con and clean apartment - Service and quality Parking wasn’t up to the mark
- Ville (9/5): Cool apartment in the centre of Tirana - Really nice apartment and had a great air conditioning in every room. Location was near the city centre, but not noisy at all. The host was very friendly and everything worked perfectly and the payment could be made using credit card. Overall had a great stay for exploring Tirana. The power sockets in the kitchen could have been located a bit better. Now the only ones are above the hob. The TV in living room had issues with colors.
- Aquino (10/5): Absolutely worth it! - The property was easy to get to being that our host, Artur, greeted us at the Mobile phone store and walked us to the apartment. Even contacted us to make sure we didn’t get lost. Artur was nothing but amazing!! This man went above and beyond to ensure our stay in Tirana was exceptional and it truly was! Spiranca is so central and easy to get around, and everything is walking distance. We couldn’t thank Artur enough for such a warm welcome to Tirana. Also he has the cutest dog named luna!!! Nothing!!!
- Aiste (9/5): Superb - Artur was an excellent communicator and provided us with many great tips.
The apartment is situated in a good location. The flat had all necessities.
- Ina (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and apartment, clean and cozy.
- Beverly (10/5): Location in Central Tirana - The location is in Central Tirana. Outside the apartment are restos, cafes and other stores. It's a minute walk to the square. And about 5 minutes away to the airport bus terminal. In the same terminal is the bus to Bunkart 1. Overall, the location is what makes it great. There's no shower door so the bathroom floor gets wet all the time. Getting the key to the apartment is also tricky especially when there's no access to Wi-Fi or mobile data. So contact Artur way ahead for instructions.
- Michal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was lovely and the host was amazing was at center of everything Liked everything except rain but didn't mater as were alot cafes just next to apartment and also plenty film channels on TV the host was amazing arranged transport from airport and also going back Albania is lovely place and felt very safe in apartment and surrounding areas would deffinently recommend it 😊
- Mariola (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Artur, the host, is a sweetheart and ready to help as much as he can in everything!
Fantastic location, right in the central square.
- Anupam (10/5): Awesome apartment - Great location and the host is a gem of a person. He made us feel like home. The apartment is well furnished and comfortable. Bathroom shower door was missing and there was no hand shower. A little repair will make the apartment a perfect 10/10.
- Virginia (10/5): Great location and host! - Great location, host is very nice, we booked a last minute reservation and communication to collect the keys was very quick and easy.
The apart has everything we needed and it’s very spacious
- Dionne (9/5): Fab location - The location is great. It is very central and everything is easy to walk to. Great communication and very friendly host. As I was on my own, the UK tv was a bonus for chilling out in the evening. The apartment was a little noisy in the evening with the road outside and the church bells, so take earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
- Mondouomo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Engelbert (10/5): Everything was nice. Would surely choose it again next time I visit Tirana. - The property is very spacious, clean, well equipped and the host is superb, helpful and very accommodating. Location is perfect. Near all the attractions and bus stops. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
- Geoffrey (10/5): All you need in the centre of the city - This apartment has everything you need for a great stay in Tiranë. A spacious and very well appointed apartment, clean and very well equipped with everything you need.
If you want to be in the centre of the city you couldn’t get closer with Skanderbeg square less than 1 minute walk away and a great little coffee shop 10m from the door and restaurants everywhere around.
The host was brilliant with, from the outset, nothing being too much trouble and replying to questions immediately.
You will not find a better apartment in the this area and you will enjoy just sitting on the balcony and watching the life go by
I fully recommend this apartment.
- Andrei (10/5): Great choice - First of all, the location is excellent, right in the city center. The apartment has everything you need.
Big thanks to Artur, who is a great guy, very friendly and helpful! -
- Silvio (9/5): Very central flat and top host - Central flat near main landmarks and amenities. Very kind and helpful host. Cheap local parking is available under request. The flat is a bit cold and the air conditioner in the bedroom is noisy. The shower area is partially open and the drain is blocked.
- Nicolae (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is very well located, very close to Skanderbeg Square (around 2-3 minutes walk).The apartment is very clean, the closet in the bedroom was filled with clean towels, bed sheets, blankets and pillows. The bathroom and kitchen are equipped with all necessary supplies.The host is extremely kind and friendly. He gave us all the information we needed, exchanged our money and when we left he negotiated a cheap taxi to the airport.
It's the perfect place for a wonderful holiday, I would happily return here! Everything was amazing.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Benjamin (10/5): Central location to discover the Albanian capital - Best location with all the shops , cafes , restaurants around, owner is kind and always available, he even print out my boarding pass for free. I had a good stay
- Esme_r4ld_4 (10/5): I could rate as excellent place to stay in Tirana - Excellent location , you can see the city centre from the balcony.
The best ever place to stay in Tirana Keep doing the same ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- William (10/5): Great location and very good value with heaps of room. Very much enjoyed our stay, there is a lot to see and do in Tiran - Very well located close to the main square and transport. Very spacious ++ with good balcony and aircon. Our host was wonderful and very helpful and speaks excellent English that made it easy for us. Just to note (because we overlooked the small print!) that for Albania booking.com properties you pay in Lek to the owner/manager on arrival as the international banking system is not well connected. Our host , Artur, was very gracious about it.
- Anna (5/5): Passable - the bathroom needs refurbishing, very difficult to take a shower.
- Shqipron (10/5): Beautiful apartment in the city center - Everything great.
Alles wunderbar. Nothing to complain about.
Nichts zu beschweren.
