We had a pleasant stay of 5 days, the best part is that it's right in the centre of Ubud and yet it's tucked away, cut off from the busy street. Quiet with only bird sounds, and so much greenery to cool the eyes. A narrow pathway leads to the homestay, with little ponds of koi fish.. This one is on Hanuman street, opp. Atman cafe, be careful not to be confused with Jati cottages which is further away and bigger.
They warned us to be careful of monkeys but we were lucky to not encounter a single wild monkey, there were some sounds of jumping on the roofs at night, that would've been them.
The room was beautiful, with a great view of the greenery outside and done up well. Bathroom was good too, with a bathtub. The room was cleaned every single day, we would always come back to a spic and span room.
The manager Surya is well versed with English and was helpful in answering our queries whenever we needed something. The rest of the staff are not very conversant in English, would be even better if they were, but this did not affect our experience in any way.
Breakfast is sumptuous with pancakes (made so well and green coloured with our favourite pandan leaves), fruit salad with a yogurt and oats dressing and toast , eggs / omelette as per your preference. And coffee / tea or course.
Would rate it highly : great location, helpful staff, and cleanliness and quietude.
