    Excellent. Edward was a superb host. Helped us out with tips on what to do, buses and a great taxi driver. We felt like we were in a family home and were cared about. He was most informative about the history of Albania and has established a history site in his property across from the guest house. worthwhile to check it out. The breakfast was varied and very generous. The welcome treats were most appreciated. The location is fabulous. In the old town and a traditional house. Very few steps to climb, unlike many other places we looked at. The view from the upstairs outdoor room where we all had breakfast is superb with great view of the castle. Loved the bed linen. Lots of good restaurants around Thanks Edward and Diana

    Photos on the booking site slightly overdone. Since May no more free parking it seems. Edward will take you to a cheaper place: 2 €/ 24 hrs.

    Edward welcomed us with open arms, offering us the possibility to choose between rooms. He gave us a large bottle of cooled water upon arrival and manoeuvred our car in the narrow 2 way street and helped us to a cheaper parking place: visibly annoyed that there is no free parking anymore since last month. Location is great in the first cobbled street from Gorica bridge. Basic rooms and bathrooms but with all the amenities. Very quiet. Breakfast served in the main room or on rooftop terrace through steep spiral staircase. Simple and hearty. Rooftop terrace with pallet furniture offers great sights on Magalem and the fort.

    Room was a bit cold but plenty of extra blankets provided in the wardrobe

    Lovely quaint building - inside & outside - a very ‘hippie-like’ relaxed atmosphere - roof terrace had spectacular views across the river. Room was oldly and rustic - no frills - I loved it. Quiet location bur short walk across the bridge to the main old town area (but still plenty of bars, restaurants, shops around) Host Edward was a very friendly & interesting character- and took pride in conversation

    Room itself was a little cold and had a window to nowhere, but it didn't bother us as there was a nice terrace to use. Kitchen could be cleaner.

    We thought the best part about this apartment was the location and being in one of the oldest buildings in Berat. Decorations in living area were super picturesque. We also really loved the host and hospitality, the breakfast was large and lovely on a terrace with a view to the hill of fortress.

    Good location, not far from the center. Nice to see that old houses are still used instead of being torn down. Only minor point for me, there's a lot of light coming in via the door and the small rooftop windows.

    Would be nice to get a kettle for the kitchen :)

    The way the property is styled - exactly like the pictures show ❤️ We were also offered a guide to show us around the city (extra fee), so now I can also recommend Bruno, as we really enjoyed his storytelling. Short walking distance to a free, public car park Kitchen access

    The kitchen was dirty. If you have small kids, as we do, the stairs to the 1st floor was really steep. but our 5 year old managed fine, but need to help our 2,5 year old, and wouldn't let her take them by her self. And the roof terrace has a bit of too big openings to your liking for the small kids, but there was enough pallet furniture's to fence of these places, so it wasn't a problem. Just to have in mind if booking with small children, else no worries :)

    it was a great location, and the best rooftop terrace, where we sat every night. The house was the oldest in the area, and has this museum feel to it, old and rustic, with a nice atmosphere. There came a sweet lady every morning and made us breakfast, which was so nice. The host was friendly and helpful. and checkin to see if everything was good. the house was nice walk distance to everything. We would defiantly stay here again.

    The communal kitchen wasn't the cleanest, but I just put my stuff in a plastic bag in the fridge.

    Great location with nearby free public parking. Nice rooftop terrace to enjoy your drinks in the evening and the breakfast in the morning. Very cosy 'lobby'.

    There was a leak in our bathroom sink, nothing major, but can be slippery.

    The building is historical and it was used in a movie. It is a very good location, close to the main attractions. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The terrace has a nice view and the breakfast is served there, traditional coffee and a traditional albanian breakfast (eggs, bread tomato, cucumber, olives, white cheese). Thank you for an amazing stay.
