The bathroom is NOT a part of the private suite, but is outside of the door to which a key is provided and you have to cross a hallway through the house itself before reaching the bathroom. The key provided only allows you to lock the suite, which includes the kitchen and bedroom area. That being said, Heidy responded quickly and clearly to all of our questions, and although we didn't see her due to COVID, I have absolutely no complaints, if you are willing to have a detached bathroom it's a great place.
