02 Who arrives

Natalie, and how she works.

Ukrainian, Russian and English together give her a wide reach across the Centrum hotels, where the guests could be from anywhere and usually are. In a pair she is the composed half, the door, the music, the practicalities, and she handles all of it lightly enough that it reads as hospitality rather than organisation. Twenty-six years have made her patient about the parts of an evening that cannot be scheduled. Symmetry matters to her: both of you should leave the room in the same state, rather than one of you ahead of the other.

Natalie decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.

She works outcall only, your hotel room, your serviced apartment, your own flat. Forty to sixty minutes across the centre once the booking is settled, at any hour. Schiphol airport hotels are by arrangement.
