To be clear, there is no way to lock your part of the apartment, meaning that the host has access to enter if they wish. No one entered while we were there, but since it is listed as an entire apt, I assumed I would be able to lock the door at night, and during the day for that matter.
I have already suggested that the apt be listed as a shared apt, which is what it ultimately is.
The rooms were large and clean and the air conditioning worked well. There were ample dishes.
The location is close to a lot of bars in a tourist area.
