Melania is very nice. When I arrived, she had even prepared food for me which I never had any Airbnb host do for me so I appreciated that a lot! The apartment was clean and cute.
However, I am a female traveling solo and have never felt more unsafe. The apartment backs up to an alley where men hang out until 3am (at least they did when I was there) and the curtains are sheer so one time before I was about to change, I looked out and saw someone looking into my bedroom and made eye contact. There are bars on the window but that didn’t make me feel comfortable constantly seeing people outside my room and sometimes looking in at me.
One of the days I woke up to someone banging on my door and I ignored it out of fear only to hear a minute later someone opening the door with a key and I come to the door to see a man I do not know at the door, in my apartment. I was so scared, I had no idea who this was. I told the host that this guy came into my house unwarranted and she said the guy had found her spare key on the street so she told him to try it in the door to see if it worked. I thought that was not ok. Not only to lose my apartment’s key on the streets of an unsafe area but then to allow someone to try it on my door who I don’t know without warning me at all.
The area would be cool to be around if you are a local to Naples, it’s just not a safe place for a tourist, in my opinion. Maybe for a guy or guys but not females. I booked 7 nights and only made it through 2 before I decided to cancel and stay in another area instead.
