There is a place in Ubud on Jl. Suweta going north off the main road at Ubud Palace. The address is #35 Jalan Suweta. There's a small sign saying Kontra House. Go in and through the family compound and ask to speak to Ben or his wife Ayu. You will have a choice of several accomodations. Half of a nice house with veranda and detached kitchen for 100,000 a nite, a small separate bungalow off to the side for about 80,000 a nite, or if you want to go really basic ask to see the rooms that belong to the older brother which are near the front and go for 30,000 a nite. They have a sitting porch, are small and clean, but tend to be less quiet as they are in the middle of the family compound. All have electricity. You will be in a garden setting away from the of the tourist hubub yet within a 5 minute walk to the center of town. The family is very friendly and both husband and wife speak some English.
Hope you enjoy your trip.
