Questions on accommodation and taxes

My name is Harold and I am thinking of visiting Sarande and Vlore and Tirana sometime in the near future. since I haven't been there before, how easy is it to rent an apartment for 60 to 90 to use a home base. what would it cost for a 2 bedroom apart in May?

also if I were to chose to stay for a long time approaching one year at a time, since Albania has no tac treaty with US what can I expect to pay in taxes? i have social security, a private pension plan and other investments in C/d .

also what would be an expected cost of living there? And do the apartments come with utilities included, or is this extra?


thanks
