I am still new to the business as well! I usually prefer to see someone at my place the first time, its just more comfortable for me, but after that I'm open for whatever 
Incall may be beneficial for the first meeting for you as well, that way you get to know the lady before inviting her to your home, but then again it is always nice for you to be in your comfort zone, which is probably your home.
Lol, this is my first time reading these boards btw...kind of interesting!
never have am outcall to your residence or business. Its NEVER a good idea to allow a provider to become aware of any personal info - your identity, your work, your family, your residence. Its the same with them. Build a firewall between your real life and your fantasy hobby life. Use anonymous email and anonymous phones, never using your regular or work email, personal or work phones, and NEVER any of your social media identities.
Outcalls to your hotel can work fine when its a provider you know or has a good reputation. When seeing someone less established you have less control over situations where you want to abort the arrangement - bait and switch, deceptive photos, bad behavior, etc. For the same reasons, be careful of incall locations where its possible that you may not have sufficient privacy. Incalls to an upscale hotel are the safest when seeing someone new.

Then again, I meet the ladies at my hotel. I would consider an in call which was located at a neutral, public location. I would never do in call at my home, the lady's home or my place of business. I would agree with Ole to keep the relationship professional. I keep my personal and professional life strictly separate from my Epicurean life here.
don't do it at your personal residence. Also agree with oleoneeye about
not sharing any personal info...phone, address, work info, etc. I don't
see anything good coming out of sharing personal info from either side.
And I'm an incall guy to answer your question.
Getting a room for the sole purpose of seeing someone for an hour or so seems excessive and as has been pointed out there are risks in having someone come to where you live.
....how comfortable I am/knowledgeable of the area.
I cab/taxi anyways when I do outcalls since I don't know how to drive (hence the surcharge depending on where I'm doing the o/c to).
"At home" in D.C. outcalls are better for me...i'm able to work appts around my school/home/social schedule vs the other way around when I primarily kept incall.
I feel safe whether in or out because I screen and have a little back&forth with a lot of people I see.
In a new town I prefer incalls just until I have a better familiarity with the area but i'll do outcalls. So really for me it's about what's more convenient because I feel equally safe doing either.
Either way for you if you don't feel comfortable walking into her hotel, home, apartment etc you probably shouldn't bring her to your home or hotel.
I do massage (in call) and escort (out call). I, too, have a good screening process, so I feel comfortable with someone before I even see them. I really like the variety, though. I wish I had more outcalls, because I get sick of looking at my place, Lol. I am very honest, and I am very particular about never asking or snooping for info not willingly given, but you don't know that. I've seen people at their homes before, but I actually agree about the dangers of that. You can't trust me without knowing me! When I have people at my incall location, I make sure not to have identifying things lying about.
I've had one provider come to my residence. I recognized the risk, but I felt I could trust her, and she never gave me any troubles. Also, I put away all my valuables when she was coming and I did keep an eye on her.
I was grateful she had enough presence of mind to dress down. Whenever she came over, she wore casual clothes that didn't stand out too much. If you want a provider to dress for you, you'll have to settle for lingerie underneath jeans and a sweater. I think it's okay to tell a provider to dress inconspicuously, or if you want to see an outfit, she can bring it in a bag and change at your place.
Also, and I recognize this may be paranoid, but we are breaking the law here, so...have a cover story. If you're bringing in young attractive females, they might be seen and commented about. Be prepared to give a logical response as to why one or many girls are coming to your apartment. You may never need to use it, but you should have a good lie that you can make people believe.
That said, I prefer incall, and there are places I won't go, no matter how tempting. Good luck and be careful.
