Sienna

Oud-Zuid has broad avenues and fewer narrow bridges than the canal ring, which lets Sienna move after midnight on New Year's Eve with fewer delays than the canal streets would allow. Her bookings on that night begin around one o'clock, once the main fireworks have ended and the crowds have scattered. She speaks Italian and English and brings a relaxed, sociable warmth to the opening hours of the year. Tantra and sensual massage are the formats she offers on that night, with the hour fixed well in advance. At twenty-seven she is direct about her limits and patient with everything else. The thirty-first sits inside the run from Christmas to New Year, so half of the fee for her hour after midnight is paid before she leaves Oud-Zuid. Guests writing from abroad should give that hour on the Amsterdam clock and add the date, since one in the morning on the first of January is easy to misread from another time zone.

Sienna 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.
