Hi Jo

I personally wouldn't do incalls from home for all the reasons you have mentioned yourself.Safety being number one,to thats your personal space,you have to switch off from this job,and must be very hard being in the same place as your work place.Hey this is just my personal opinion,each to their own,if you were happy then fine but obviously you are not.
You could get in touch with other girls in your area through AW or on here and ask if they would share rent on a place,etc.I used to do that.That way when you are finished for the day/night you can go home,switch off,your neighbours will be none the wiser and you will have much more peace of mind.
Ok your outgoings will increase,but think peace of mind is priceless in this industry.
Hugs

Just a quick note as its late ............ but if your neighbours door is so near to yours as you say ............. its not going to be long before they realise whats happening and it could turn nasty.

What if you put a little business card glued in your mail box. As in: Jane Smith  -Certified  Massage therapist: Deep tissue &  lymphatic drainage-

Or think about other type of legit businesses that would involves traffic of people into your apartment and stick to it.

That is a very good idea! x

I'm in a similar position Joanna. I'm unable to work from home too as and hoping to move within the next few months as I want to upsize anyway but wondering what to tell prospective neighbours if they ask or I feel I have to. I thought about saying something on the lines of the holistic thing but wouldn't they wonder why or even ask why  it was only guys and not women that were coming?  I even thought of saying I that made bespoke mens suits even but what if they wanted one themselves?? Lol...I wonder what other cover stories girls have for their clients coming to either home or incall place.  would be interesting to know x

I hate having clients in my house.  I rent by the hour in London.  It's expensive (?40 p/h, ?180/full day) but worth it..

Could you rent a 2-bed and use the 2nd bedroom for incalls?  If it's the right kind of flat then you could always let the 2nd bedroom p/h to other WGs?  There is quite a high demand for this it seems and it would help pay the rent.  If you're lucky you could even find a split-level flat and keep the clients out of your 'personal' space

I pay ?40p/h for an incall place in central london. Probably would be cheaper to go to a hotel (in the longrun) but I never know when I'm going to be busy I was thinking about seeing clients at home but there's been quite a few threads like this one recently.... I think it's a sign!
