Following the logic of defining a PublicPlace, would lead in this case to creating a NonPublicPlace type to enable that capability which I believe is even more clunky than the proposed boolean.

I am not a fan of them as they create a secondary type system (publicAccess could also be PublicPlace), but because they are not actually types, you cannot add properties to them. For example, you cannot say when the public access hours are if they differ from other hours.
