Ubud is much quieter than the southern beach areas, so it doesn't suit everyone.
The monkeys in Ubud are well fed & mostly docile if not provoked. I've had one climb on me, & a guide rushed over & advised me to get up & start walking. It climbed back down with no problems. If you freak out, it makes it worse.
Perhaps you haven't been to Sangeh - the monkeys there are little thieves & far more aggressive.
