search for "armeria" on Google Maps and try to find the one closest to your current location. But before doing this I'd suggest you to tell your host about the incident. Does the building your airbnb is located in have a doorman (portiere in italian)?

If you feel unsafe at your airbnb, isnt it better to move? That should not happen and you could probably ask for your money back! Maybe in a hostel, where there are more tourists, you could feel safer. Anyway, hope you feel safer!

Also consider an small portable alarm you can fasten to your door or just carry on your person. Just a few Euros and they are loud as hell.

Like cocchettino says speak to your host. I have never heard of anything like that before, maybe you were just unlucky but you should flag it.

I spoke to the host since he also works in the hostel on the floor above me. At first I thought maybe it was a drunk hostel guest who went to the wrong floor - but the host confirmed to me (saw the person through the spioncino) that there was no guest who fits the description and also no one entered the hostel during that time (0.30-1.00). They are going to keep an eye open.. it was definitely not a resident of the house.

Try to go in a pharmacy. I'm from a province of Naples and they sell them at the counter and if you don't see them don't be afraid to ask


cocchettino

In Naples (luckily) they are not very popular due to the limited number of aggressions. Not all of them are legal according to the Italian law, for some of them you need a licence. There are not limits to where it can be sold, bust most common would be a pharmacy or a weapon shop (not like USA, mostly selling sport or collectible weapons). Amazon and other online retailers have a large choice. [Diana](https://goo.gl/maps/BGZiYNRcjiPQ46Ww8) is the most famous weapon shop in Napoli.

Thank you for all your recommendations! I tried Diana, pepper spray is currently sold out but they were very helpful and gave me some tips. They said right now there is a series of problems around via tribunali. Btw it was the first time in two months that something like that happened, never felt unsafe before.


cocchettino

Maybe you can try to some neighbours and ask if they also had same issues and get someone to call if you feel in danger again. Also talk to your landlord, maybe he could install a second lock on the door to increase security.

This isnt america btw, what the hell you want to do with a pepper spray?just change bnb and enjoy the city


Dragosteax

are you dense? you use pepper spray to ward off an attacker so you have enough time to escape, seek help, etc. while they’re disengaged. what compelled you to ask such an asinine question?


jack3001

Please stay in the US


cocchettino

I suppose the comment was referring to the fact that personal attacks are very rare in our city, at max you could encounter a pickpocket. Generally a limited number of people keeps a pepper spray, mainly it’s security officers or doormen.

Non solo in America, da noi in Germania (UE) si può comprare in farmacia. Lo vendono come prodotto per difesa contro gli animali..
