I have stayed at the Sri Bungalows on Monkey Forest Rd. it is centrally located. You should get rates about US$30-40 two beds (some air cond, some just fan but still pleasant). It's a nice place for the price. A few doors down from the Monkey Forest, Many good places to eat nearby including the Dirty Duck a great restaurant (my friend saw Mick Jaggar dining there twice too) yet very affordable. There's more lodging nearby that I hear others rave about. If you're shopping; then I recommend you get a driver to take you directly to some of the villages that supply the markets in Ubud. I import from Bali and the guy I use as a driver, Ketut Sudana, can take you to the source in his van, and if you buy bunches; he can take your purchases to some cargo companies I've used that are on the up and up. He does all of this CHEAP ..CHEAP.. balitransport@aol.com +62818347487 He can even give you a ride to the Sri Bungalows if you're in another village. Enjoy your time in Bali and Happy Shopping!!
