a well known advocate of KTH.
However, I will try to be objective.
LOCATION: Set between Poppies one and Poppies two, at the Legian St end.
About 10 mins walk to the beach, and approx 8 mins to the memorial.
Not on a main Rd, and at the junction of three small gangs with local warungs within 50 yards including Kuta Steakhouse, Tom Yum, Gong Corner and others.
Similar story with mini marts etc.
3 or 4 mins walk and you are on Legian St.
QUALITY: These are well appointed units, with stage 1 (about 6 units for rent) being about 3 yrs and stage 2, quite a bit larger being only afew months old.
Stage 1 is three storey, and no lift, whereas stage two is 4 storey and serviced by lift.
There are two pools, one a 25mtr? lap pool, and the other a more conventional pool.
There is a well appointed gym, and the restaurant is much under rated, and serves good food at a good price.
Noise wise, on AFL days (KTH has live games) during the game, the bar can be noisy, but this only lasts for the duration of the game, and people dissipate quickly afterwards.
All in all, great value for the rate you pay, in my view.
If any downside, I guess that it would have to be that as a new place, the gardens are not "Bali ish", and there is some growing to be done with the plants etc.
Whichever you decide, make sure to post an honest JBR.
Look forward to reading it.
