The "access=private" tag does not mean that it is legally forbidden to
access, that it is always forbidden under any circumstances ("access=no").
It means (I think) that the conditions of access are set by the owner. An
appointment, for example, or a certain visiting hours to walk inside the
office are conditions of access that the owner of the office sets
discretionally, privately, i.e. according to his will.
I would use "opening_hours=*" [1] or "reservation=*" [2] to indicate if
there is a visiting hours or if it is necessary to make an appointment in a
private office that does not normally provide services to the general public
(«office=yes» + «access=private»).
Greetings from Spain.
