I have seen one provider who lived/used an apartment building. Having to check in at the front desk and interact with the guard who knows why you are there and what is going on because he has seen 100 people go up there today every hour, just not my idea of discretion.

Booked one in a building with an intercom system, which I still dont love, but better than checking in and this building was loaded with kids and moms coming and going to school etc around 2-4.

Even then leaving the premises if you choose or are not offered a shower and you smell like johnsons baby oil.

Kind of surprised that this issue isnt addressed more by providers in ads or on TER, because it is a major point with me.

I would prefer the 2 flat on the Northside that sees very little actiivty.

Would be very intersted in others points of view on this.

A Provider in a building with a Front Desk is a bit Nerve Racking. They'll get suspicious with alot of visitors going in one apartment on a daily basis. If possible maybe you can get a Motel Room if it won't be too expensive. Or better yet, maybe you can take her to your place. Having a Provider that's Flexible with locations is Awesome.

Although I imagine that if she provides where she lives she must be low volume, nothing worst than giving complaint material to the neighbors or raise eyebrows at the front desk.

My incall is incredibly discrete; it's an apartment with no intercoms, no buzzers, side entry, and it's on the 3rd floor.  All of these things were things I thought about before choosing an incall space.

If you're not cool with front desks and intercoms,  tell her.  There may be ways to circumvent them.  If there isn't, I'd suggest renting a hotel room for the session, or having her book a room and then compensating her.  I'm always happy to do hotel sessions, but I generally won't pay for the hotel since I have a perfectly good incall space, and would expect to have the hotel paid for if my client deems my incall space wrong for the occasion.

This wasnt in regards to one provider, I guess I was just letting some providers know what I think about and probably a number of other guys, I would guess.

I wouldnt go to the trouble of getting a room, I would just move on to find someone else.

The same theory applies to inviting someone to my apartment. I just wouldn't. Nosey neighbors, etc.

I may need to see Ms. Black as it sound like the kind of discretion that should be thought of for a client.

While I am at it, I would love to see TER define Chicago areas as well. Hate seeing a provider listed as CHICAGO and they are Ohare or 111th st, while I am the far Northside of the city. That is quite a drive.

I have had the same issues in the past. Even if the provider comes down to meet you, the lobby/ desk/security/host knows what is going on and it's embarrassing. It's also too late once you walk in and see a security man standing the and the provider smiles as we walk by. He know damn well what is going on.  
In my case, the provider didn't say anything until we walked inside, she was standing outside waiting for me and saving a parking spot. It usually makes them laugh when a man old enough to be their Dad says he is visiting.  
They should be upfront and honest, but at the same time, it depends on the rate. If the provider has a 300-400 rate, then she better have a safe secure place with her client's comfort in mind. If she has a place with a doorman, then I feel she should get a room and pay for it, not the client. But if you having an appointment with a 100 provider, then you are taking chances to begin with.  
Just my 2 cents worth

What's the big deal? So you go to a doorman building and you go visit a provider. Unless the doorman is your brother-in-law, who the fuck cares?

If there's a visitor log, just sign it 'John Hobby' and go about your business. The provider clearly doesn't care that the doorman knows she's a sex worker, and you're probably not going to be coming back.

Doormen, front desk sign-ins, nosy neighbors, key card elevators, etc. are all deal breakers for me when deciding where to hold my incalls. That said, I have heard of ladies whose door staff either don't know or don't care what's going on, but personally, I feel like the less people who see my guests coming/going, the better.

END OF MESSAGE

Ridiculous ur whining about our residences, if you don't want to experience doormen, signing in, etc etc ... Then get a hotel room & have to provider come to you...   Wow, this board used to be fun but lately it's all about whining & bitching!

I didn't think I would ever be saying this, but I agree with Tobi. Discretion makes a difference to some of us. Tobi has her head on straight and takes all aspects into consideration. I appreciate that in a provider
