You're standing at the House of Leaves, right in the centre of Tirana. Have a look at the façade. It's almost completely covered in a climbing plant, and that's where the house gets its nickname. It looks friendly, a little overgrown even. But behind those leaves, one of Albania's most feared services did its work for decades.
