Michelle, warm and elegant company in Centrum

Book Michelle for the evening where you would rather not do any of the work. She is chatty in the best sense, the kind of company that carries a conversation gracefully when you are three time zones behind and short of sentences, and nurturing in a way that shows up in small practical gestures rather than grand ones. She is 27 and 173 centimetres, curvy, her hair dark brown and worn straight, her eyes brown, and there is a soft rose-toned romance to how she dresses, warm shades and elegant lines that suit a hotel restaurant as easily as a bar. Elegant is the word most guests land on, though several have said afterwards that what they actually remember is how easy the whole night was.

Museums are her daylight pleasure and she knows the Amsterdam ones properly, including which rooms to skip when your flight leaves at six. Mixology is the evening equivalent: she has views on a martini and shares them with Jasmin, who is equally unreasonable on the subject. Sailing is the third, a childhood habit she has never lost, and Cindy is the one who understands it. Put her near water on a bright afternoon and she becomes a different and even better kind of company.

She boards from Amsterdam Centrum, so most central hotels are a matter of minutes for her. Her English is warm, and she will talk at length if you want that, or sit comfortably quiet if you do not. Michelle is a very good choice for a first evening in the city, and an even better one for the last night before an early departure. She has a gift for making a final evening feel like a proper send off rather than an afterthought squeezed in before the alarm goes.

Let Michelle do the planning on the night you have nothing left. She is minutes from most of the central hotels, and she has a gift for carrying an evening when the guest has lost most of a day to a cabin and has very little to say for himself.

Drinks first, because she has firm views on a martini and enjoys a bar that takes the job seriously. Dinner somewhere warm rather than impressive. She will talk at length if that is what you want and sit comfortably quiet if it is not, and she notices the small practical things that make a night easier. If there is a spare morning, she knows these museums properly and which parts are worth it when you only have an hour. Last evenings before an early departure are the ones she is best at, and she treats them as the real end of a trip.
