I'm sorry, my friend, very sorry for not having been more precise and making you lose your trip to Ying Yang. Any and all spas offering sex in Lima are just the same: you can't tell it is there and you can't find it if you don't know it's there. Also, unfortunately, mongering in Peru without any Spanish skills is very hard and usually expensive, because you are limited to the high-end girls. And that is not what you came to Peru to look for. Let's see if I can be of any help.
First, one advice: If you check a local forum like Perutops or any other and look at a spa's thread or a brothel's thread, go directly to the first post. Exact address, if available, is usually in the first post or at least in one of the first three posts. I just checked (I really can't remember by just memory) and there it is: Ying Yang Spa, Lopez de Ayala # 1098 [B] Apartment 203[/B].
I wouldn't bet on you going a second time to Ying Yang after that first bad experience but, if you like spas, within walking distance of Ying Yang you will find Sauna Venice's. Address: Av. Aviacion # 3196, barely five blocks away from Ying Yang and it might be just what you need. It is a regular men-only sauna with a huge sign above the front door; it has steam room and dry room, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, showers, restaurant and all the regular services of a regular sauna spa. It also offers massages and there is where the trick lies, most of the masseuses (all of them at times) are "working girls" They are hanging around the cafeteria dressed as wh*res, there is no way to mistake them for real professional masseuses. You don't need to speak Spanish to enter, just show up at the front desk and pay the entrance fee (I believe it is 50 soles (13.50 US) nowadays). They will ask you for your "valuables" (wallet, watch, cash, etc.) put them in a small bag and into a small locker and give you a key ring with two keys and a number, one key is for that small locker and the other is for a bigger locker in the dressing room where you put your clothes after getting naked. You will be given a towel to wear around your waist and a pair of sandals; don't worry, they are steam cleaned so they are perfectly safe to wear. Anything you spend while in the premises is charged to your number (the one in the key ring) including the girl's services should you take it. With the girls you don't need Spanish either, both and them know what you are there for so a little gesturing and a few words (numbers) in Spanish should be enough, they all charge 250 or 300 soles (65 to 80 US) so don't let them gringo-tax you. There are girls all day but in the daytime there are fewer, also the best ones are in the late shift (after 7:00 pm) but you can go any time. They used to be open 24/7 but, after the pandemic, I believe they close at midnight. If you don't like any of the five to fifteen girls you'll find (unlikely but it might happen) you still won't lose your entrance fee since you can enjoy the spa's facilities for as long as you want (or until closing time).
Of course, you can check [URL]https://geisha.academ[/URL]why / lima / they have a WhatsApp number in their website and I bet they speak English and have English speaking girls if you ask for it but, beware, they are the high end of the scale, both in price and quality. You can also check [URL]peruvianvip.com[/URL] and probably will get someone to answer you in English.
This is what I can tell you at such short notice; I might come up with more suggestions in time. I'll ask around and, if I can find anything that might be useful to you, I'll post it here. I just hope I can do it before you leave.

[QUOTE=AlgernonM;2871887]Hola amigos,
I am visiting Lima for the first time mainly for tourism but thought will monger a bit for the side. I have mongered all over the world (including non English speaking counter), but I have to say this is the one city which is impossible to navigate. My apologies this may sound like a rant but trust me it is not, it is a genuine call for help.
1. In a new city I generally like to start with a spa since they are organized, generally safe. I looked at JJ's post below and tried to find the exact address of all the spas mentioned, but Google doesn't show anything in Lima with these names for most of them. Thankfully you had mentioned the website of ying yang spa, so I ubered there. Reached the building (1098 something) but there was no sign of a spa or sauna. It was like a run down residential building, went up and down the 4 floors to see if I can figure something. Nada. Unless I rang the bell on each door, there was no way of finding out. Called them, they picked up and hung up they moment they heard English from my mouth. Wtf, I translated and called again, asked for 'direccion', they hung up again wtf. Someone in ish said search on perutops, well that website seems to have reviews from 2005! And didn't have the exact address or apt numbers. I took an Uber and came back, without even reaching the place. An absolute first in my decade long mongering career..[/QUOTE]
