is sort of a main drag to Sunset Rd.
Not a wide road but can be busy.
The road consists of some hotels, small shops, warungs/small restaurants, some bigger shops and vacant land the closer you get to Sunset Rd
At the other end where it joins to Legian St that corner can be quite busy also as this is right in the "thick of it".
From the map I'd say quite a walking distance from Legian St (if the map is correct)
The website says 10mins walk to the beach.
It's probably a 5-10 min walk even from just Legian St.
Ok if you have your own bike, but to walk everywhere that would be a bit much.
Jln Nakula ends up at Legian St & continues on the other side as Jln Double 6 which leads to the beach.
Double 6 is sort of the umnarked border between Legian & Seminyak.
There is so much accommodation to choose from around Legian & Seminyak close to the beach, restaurants, shopping.
Looks nice on the website & $80USD for the studio is ok ..
3 bedroom at $200 I think there are better options for villas, apartments etc that are better location & value
Perhaps decide whether you want to stay around Legian/upper Legian near Double 6 or further up in actual Seminyak..
then have a look at range & accommodation in those areas.
If you want something other than a normal hotel with more than 1 bedroom, there are some options at the link below.
The popular ones can be heavily booked in advance though
eg Other apartments:
Jayakarta private apts
Courtyard
Beach Melati
Puri Damai
Semara Villa
Andari
Surati
Villa Naga Maya
Hidden Garden etc
**Just read your previous post saying you have 2 teenage girls?
Definitely stay closer in.
For your budget you should get something.
If not a villa then at least a 2 bedroom bungalow in a complex.
eg try Villa Pisang Mas
Yuli Bungalows
Pondok Sara
