Ah, thank you for the insight Aellyn! Haven't done an official tour yet - at least not until the 11th! Will keep this in mind for future tours.
A four/five star hotel was my first choice, but at the same time it does seem like a double-edged sword, as you had mentioned, considering some folks seem to be wary of hotels in general, while others are more comfortable with an incall apartment space.
Granted, I have read through your posts, as well as a few other highly regarded companions' posts, on particular hotels in Downtown Vancouver that help the entire process for both parties to be as discreet as possible. Sadly, I still received a number of inquiries uncomfortable with the recommended four/five star hotels. So after much debate, another incall apartment suite was chosen! ^_^
Also, being downtown, it seems that having parking available was just as crucial as your space. So exciting to learn more about this profession every day, whether it be from trial and error, or from other lovely companions such as yourself!
