2Brothers apartments

Twelve self-catering apartments on Rruga Aleksandër Moisiu in Tirana's northern residential belt, 2Brothers trades hotel formality for full kitchens, hardwood floors, and sofa-bed living areas suited to stays beyond a weekend.

Each unit runs its own private bathroom and comes stocked with cleaning products; air conditioning and cable TV cover the basics. Free parking on-site is a practical advantage in a city where street space near the centre disappears quickly.

Rruga Aleksandër Moisiu sits roughly two kilometres north of Skanderbeg Square, within range of the Tirana East Gate mall and the city's outer ring of neighbourhood restaurants that see few foreign visitors. With a 9.6 rating across 13 reviews, the property punches well above its unstarred classification.
