The first minute in the room, and why it is practical
Two things happen before the booked time starts and both are deliberately unromantic: the balance is settled, and she says where her limits sit. Getting them out of the way early is the point.
Guests occasionally expect the opening of an afternoon to be atmospheric and are briefly thrown when it is administrative instead. The bag goes down, the money is settled, and she says in her own words what the session will and will not include. All of it takes two or three minutes. It is the useful part of the arrangement and it is deliberately at the front.
Money first, for an obvious reason
An hour with an unsettled payment sitting inside it is an hour with a small piece of admin quietly running in the background. Doing it in the first minute closes the subject and neither of you thinks about it again. Doing it at the end turns the last five minutes into a transaction, which is a poor way to finish anything.
Have it counted and to hand. On a booking with a deposit behind it, the balance is the remaining half: EUR 90 on an hour, EUR 135 on ninety minutes, EUR 180 on two hours. On a returning guest's same-day hour or two at a city address, where nothing travelled first, it is the whole figure. Euro is the currency behind every number quoted here. Cash in another major currency is fine if you say so in the thread beforehand, in which case the exact amount in that currency is worked out and confirmed to you in writing before she leaves, which is considerably better than two people doing exchange arithmetic in a hotel room in the middle of the afternoon.
Then the part guests value more than they expect
She decides what a session includes, and she says so at the start rather than leaving it to be worked out along the way. Her limits are hers, she names them in her own words, and they hold for the whole visit. She can decline a booking at any point, before it is agreed or after, and owes no explanation for it.
Written down, that can read as a warning. In the room it is the opposite. A visit that begins with both people knowing where the edges are is a visit with nothing to negotiate, and guests who have had it done well once tend to notice its absence elsewhere. The alternative is an hour spent guessing, which nobody enjoys on either side.
The hour of the day changes none of this. At two in the afternoon and at two in the morning the same person makes the same call, in the same words, and the terms say it in colder language than she will.
The document, if she asks for one
She may ask to see a photo document at the door, because everyone in the room has to be twenty-one or over. If she does, she looks at it and hands it straight back in the same movement. Nothing is copied, photographed or written down. A bright corridor makes no difference to this either way; if anything a busy afternoon floor is a less awkward place for it than a silent one at three in the morning.
And then the clock
The booked time runs from when she is in the room, not from when she knocked and not from when the first message was sent. That is worth knowing if you booked sixty minutes with a hard stop behind it, because the practical three minutes come out of the hour. It is the single strongest argument for ninety minutes over sixty on a day with a meeting after it, and the step between the two rungs costs EUR 90.
What is not in the first minute
No paperwork, no forms and nothing to sign. The only written part of the whole arrangement is the thread you already have, which is where the figure, the hour and the arrival window were agreed and where they can be read back if either side needs to.
There is one written line on a same-day booking, and it goes in that thread rather than in the room: a sentence confirming that you want the session carried out at once. It takes ten seconds and it is asked for before she leaves, not after she arrives. The policy page explains why. Beyond that, the first minute is exactly what it looks like, which is two practical things done quickly so that neither of them is in the room for the rest of the hour.
