I'm with you on this
Doesnt have to be a palace however pukka accomo can add to the session
& vice versa
Poor accomo can often correlate with poor SP [& often based in a crap area which i very much try to avoid]
I've walked, the place was a dump which pretty much matched the beached whale standing in front of me

IMO the choice of venue shows what the SPs think of themselves
Have had one apologise embarrassed about the place saying never in a million years she's using it again [she more than made up for it]
I'm not referring to rocking up to a parlour at god knows what time steaming it kinda adds to it, a dirty seedy type HJ [way too wasted for FS, no chance noddered up]
Especially with massage burds some of em will invest in a decent venue & turn it more into a spa like visit [rolled up fluffy towels, usually grey], just a norty spa
& when they give it the beans its

& usually a return pretty sharpish
Your post reminds me, i must do a review on a burd who was in a very impressive apartment not far off a million sheets in Chelsea Harbour [rented but ££]
Shame but good, clean accommodation is high on my list & I've even walked before if the place is a bit of a dump, telling the SP "sorry I just don't feel comfortable with your set up ".
