I am sorry for what you went through. It's not cool at all.
But before painting that venue with a generalized brush I want to just give some other perspective.
I've been to that venue on 3 occasions. 2 reviews are here, 3rd is not because that lady didn't advertise. One of the reviews is Lotus who has been mentioned here.
The building is admittedly a bit dodge, but the studio is lovely, and I felt very safe there. I found the studio to be of a high caliber, in line with the top venues I have been to (15+ years of punting). Lotus is also a lovely person and would recommend her to anyone. I had no problem leaving all my valuables in her care while I showered.
Im not invalidating what you experienced, just want other people to know that it's not a representation of everyone's experience, and comparing Lotus could give the necessary impression that she was involved.

I do believe the first link lotus is also known as Natalia, she used to work with me at my apartment in century city, eventually running away with rent and known to extort clients if lotus is infact Natalia, becareful she is extremely evil and devious.

Sorry about your experience and thanks for the warning
Agree that the OP could have handled the warning and the links better.
Always tough at a venue and especially without an en suite. Even if the lady joins you in the shower, no guarantee that another lady (working alone or in concert) will not go thorough your things.
One of the reasons i don't like venues!
