Go/come

I wonder if there is a subtle difference between "1" and "2".

1. How about going to my place? My parents and sister are out for a week.

2. How about coming to my place? My parents and sister are out for a week.

Depends on context. If you're together at the time, they'd have the same meaning: 1. We go together.

2. You come with me.

If you're calling from your place, only (2) works.

If you're not at home and you're not together, (1) could work.
