We booked the one bedroom villa at the Bali Asri and although it was fairly new and kept very clean, I was put off by the following:
1. the tap water in both the bathroom and kitchen had a rotten egg smell and no matter how long we kept the water running, it was always there....a bit off putting for showering. I have not encountered this anywhere and really didn't like this at all.
2. location I would rate as fair - it is at least a 500 metre walk to the main junction, and taxis are few and far between outside the villas, unlike other places I have stayed and you just wander outside and in seconds can jump into a taxi.
3. Distinct lack of a manned reception / office. Again, compared to other villas, this one does not have someone available to answer your queries or address faults. This made me wonder at the time if the villas were properly registered, but I have no idea and they also didn't even have a name plate out the front when we stayed there.
We were only there for 5 nights and I wouldn't have wanted to have stayed longer. We have not gone back and I wouldn't recommend them. We booked them through Mida in Bali - if you search for her name here on the fourm, you should find her contact details.
