The problem you have if neighbours take notice and clock many men coming and going no matter how discreet you are if they suspect and want to find out they will start watching. I was very discreet when i rented flats to work from but got kicked out of a fair few because neighbours caused trouble or complained.

When I worked from my home, which was a flat, I only had an upstairs neighbour to worry about. I told all clients "don't knock the door, I'll keep an eye out the window and run to the door as you come up the steps."

I work similarly in hotels, once they call to say they're parked I go and lurk by the door and I open it when I hear their footsteps outside.

Just to add to the discussion I have had a situation in which a neighbour asked a client where he was going, others have said friendly "Hellos". Confident clients either batted it off, or in one case got roped into a conversation about something I'd been helping him with.

A few nervy types either ran off, or came in telling me 'there's a person walking past / gone in their house / at the window'.

I can't stop passers-by and some regulars actually like there to be evidence of other humans around, they've explained it gives them a sense of security ie they aren't totally isolated should anything wierd happen.

The worst incall location for discretion was a small (and in my town they are rarely large), supposedly prestigious block of flats which several clients still insisted was more discrete than a terrace I moved to.

Let's say the combination of indiscreet clients and my at the time lifestyle along with the layout and residents meant the block was anything but discrete, and I got my marching orders fairly soon.

If you do not mind sharing how did that happen? Was it a landlord who gave you notice to leave and did he give definite reasons?

Honestly? I tour a lot mainly from apartments but also work from home.

The main criteria for neighbours not noticing (and this works for me on 99% of places) is to

See a max of 2 possibly 3 clients per day but sometimes 0

Screen heavily

See clients for longer appointments rather than shorter ones

If necessary tell newcomers to escorting how to behave discreetly

I have never been clocked in over 6 years of escorting, including 3 years at home at the sane address so this works for me.
