I advise you to pick one that you like and is available during the days you wanna stay there, and ask to the host whether or not you can receive visitors, making clear that they would not stay overnight.

And, make sure they are clear about the process for guests. Is there a "registration" process, if there is one, what is it?

I've stayed at a place in SP that allowed guests, but security was fort knox level tight with a 1 to 2 security guards outside the door. A face ID scanner at the front door, then a passcode for the door to the lobby, AND a front desk person. You were SECURE BUT, they allowed guests no problem, lol. As long as you're okay with 2-3 people seeing your hoeing ways. 🤣

In Bogota, their guest policies are all over the place. "Yes you can have guests but you must submit their photo and ID to the Airbnb host 24 hours before arrival, then they register at the front desk, and you pay $8, if they stay past 11pm it's $60!" or "sure, you can have people over, no problem. Just make sure no one sleeps over!" 

So, get details about what the policy is, not just if guests are allowed.

Last year, I stayed at an Airbnb in the Pinheiros neighborhood that was similar in everything but the security guards. I have to admit, the face scanner was the coolest part of my stay.

I had a friend (not GP) over and he needed to register as well but they didn't take his photo, which sucks because I talked up so much lol

Yeah, my SP place was secure and I actually just booked a repeat stay for December. BUT, the host already sent me the entrance details for a booking 6-months away, which is crazy. The real kicker is that the apartment's front door uses a passcode and it's the same passcode I used last December! Internal safety is a joke if the door's passcode never ever changes and will be available in 6 month's time. I'm now considering alternative options. I loved my stay and loved the building, but don't feel comfortable with the apartment's code being the same when this building has 100 units and all it takes is one neighbor to find it. 

Another part of me feels paranoid but the unit was brand new last year, now it's been some time. I am going to see what other options I have because that's a miss in my book.
