Nadia

She sees a lot of guests on their first day in the city, when the body is still running on an hour that belongs somewhere else. Twenty-seven, and not easily surprised by what a long flight leaves behind. She tends to steer that guest towards ninety minutes rather than sixty, and gives a reason for it instead of only a figure. Russian and English are both available. Her hours run from late morning into the early evening, out of the Jordaan, and the bridges between her and most central addresses take less time by day than people assume.

Nadia 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.
