The answer

One should strive to perform congregational prayers if possible; otherwise, one should pray individually in a pure place, isolated from anything that might distract or diminish devotion.

Devotion (khushu') in prayer is not a condition for its validity according to the majority of scholars, though praying in places inhabited by devils is disliked, even if the prayer is valid if performed on a pure spot.
