Spent 103€ for accommodation (9 nights) Everything else is also very affordable. You will be taking buses everywhere (unless you want a taxi/rent a car). Don’t drink the water. I met up with a friend in Shkodër, traveled in a group of four to Tirana (go see the sky bar - it’s free, and a walking tour), quick detour to Ohrid in North Macedonia, then to Sarandë to surprise some friends. Amazing memories, welcoming country, and minimal tourists rn. Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

Tirana is pretty safe, at least compared to other places I've been. People are friendly, they tend to help you if you ask them for help. There are no pickpocketers, or at least I haven't encountered any in my 20 years of living here! And it's safe to say I can go home at night by foot, but of course I need to be super cautious. You can take taxis as they are pretty safe, just don't take the yellow ones, take white ones.
