This Japanese-inspired studio apartment features handmade furniture and an ultra-modern bathroom. Located inside Prishtina’s famous Kurrizi housing complex, it’s both stylish and atmospheric. My pick of the bunch.

Just 10 metres from Prishtina’s main square, the location of this one-bedroom apartment is unbeatable. The interior is simple, with exposed brick walls and modern furniture crafted from upcycled pallets and composite wood.

The 1970s building was one of the first high rises in the city, and is the former headquarters of Kosovo’s Strong Party (Partia e Fortë).

This two-storey building sleeps three guests on its lower level and houses a separate studio on the upper floor. The house is split-level, with the bedroom tucked under the entrance stairs.

Design highlights include floor-to-ceiling windows, matte concrete walls, a bespoke kitchen, wingtip chairs and other modernist pieces. This is the only property on this list with an outdoor terrace.

When designing this sixth-floor studio apartment, the owners were inspired by memories of their childhood. The 1990s retro aesthetic is quirky without being too overpowering: Flourishes include a fridge handle made from an old skateboard, and a stand-free kitchen sink that used to be a stove.

Natural light is plentiful, as are the canary yellow details that give this apartment its name.

Another colourful and slightly quirky space, this studio is decorated with modern artwork and vintage knickknacks. It’s a little cosier than some of the other Prishtina Airbnbs on this list, but dramatic lighting gives the space depth and atmosphere.

The location is ideal, walking distance from all of Prishtina’s main sights.

The smaller of the two apartments on the property, this studio is equally bright and spacious. The full kitchen and sitting area is lit by skylights, while the addition of a cosy sleeping loft breaks up the space. Guests have access to the shared terrace garden.

6 things to pack for Kosovo

  • A good quality backpack. If you plan on moving around Kosovo by bus, it’s a good idea to travel light. I recommend using an anti-theft backpack for your day pack.
  • A scarf (women). A lightweight cotton scarf is my number one travel essential. In Kosovo, it will come in handy for covering your hair when entering a mosque or monastery. This neutral travel scarf goes with anything and it even has a hidden pocket.
  • Good walking shoes. Kosovo’s cities are all pedestrian friendly. Comfy shoes are essential – I love these ones for women, while my partner lives in these waterproof shoes.
  • A reusable water bottle. I always travel with a S’Well water bottle.
  • Biodegradable wet wipes. Try this convenient travel pack.
  • Entertainment for bus journeys. If you don’t suffer from motion sickness, an e-reader is great for passing the time on road journeys. If you have a travel buddy, pick up a headphone splitter – probably my favourite travel gadget of all time – so you can share a screen or a podcast.
