Very quiet and safe. private garden with orange and lemon trees. Hosts are great and local people friendly. can't believe you are inside a city. I took my dog and had no issues with the street dogs. would stay again.

Erin’s family is super helpful and kind! Make sure to read the arrival instructions, as her mom coordinates the arrival. We loved the setting: close to town center, and with a beautiful garden (with fresh figs!). Would stay here again.

Erin and her family are among the warmest, kindest, and most generous people--not only on this platform, but in the world. The bungalow is spacious, comfortable, and well cared for, the garden beautiful and peaceful: the fig tree is my favourite, but there are many others, no less beautiful: orange, tangerine, lemon, pomegranate, plum, persimmon (in the back), hazelnut, and many herbs and roses. There's a table on the front porch that I enjoyed working at in good weather, and there's ample beautiful weather in Elbasan! I enjoyed all seasons, but even the winter months (which are cooler and cloudier and rainier than during the rest of the year) were still a treat for me. It's generally warm, and there is plenty of sunshine in Elbasan, the kind of weather that makes it pleasant to appreciate palm trees and mountains. The adjustment from big-city living didn't take long: fans instead of air conditioners, electric and gas heating instead of central. I learned in Elbasan that modern comforts are nice to have, but they've got nothing on the joys of gorgeous weather and wonderful friends. I felt so safe and at home in Erin's family's house, and the house itself is located fewer than five minutes from the city's main streets, so I had easy access to groceries, convenience items, cafes, restaurants, shops, and parks. The length of my stay showed me the complexity of the city and the country, that there is ever so much more yet to learn about its language, history, and traditions. This is a part of the world that is as interesting and mysterious as it is appealing to the senses. Especially if you need time away from the urban experiment, from big-city living, consider exploring Elbasan. I will never forget the things I've learned there, and still the learning continues.

It would be impossible to overstate the generosity, kindness, and professionalism of Erin's family. And it would be impossible to overstate Elbasan's natural beauty, or the warmth of so many of its people. Faleminderit me gjithë zemrën time!

Erin and her family are honest, caring, and so kind. It has been an honour to stay in their home, and to spend these days in Elbasan.
