This prompted quite a number of questions for me.
Firstly, how much due diligence and safeguarding was involved in the screening and monitoring of the clients? Long before she was indeed hurt by one of them, I was thinking that he looked rather scary and dangerous - i.e. Not just a man with "intimacy issues".
Secondly, was she really emotionally robust enough to be doing this in the first place? Maybe it was a "natural" step on from her PhD and financial situation but that doesn't mean it was a good idea and/or right for her...
Having said that, there was some good stuff here in the establishment of mood and the pacing, although I did wonder about some of the continuity (e.g. What happened to the downstairs neighbour?)
Unsettling.
