I like Masa Inn because it IS right in the centre of things - which is what the OP wishes to avoid. Agree that it is usually a rug rat-free zone. The problem with Masa & La Walon & any place on Poppies 1 & 2 is the hassling as soon as you leave the hotel. For a first timer it can be overwhelming and most unpleasant. We veterans can handle it all easily but my 22 yo son, who hadn't been since he was in single figures, just hated that area in November last. I think most newbies would feel the same.
Kusnadi in Legian seems to be a pleasant place. I have a friend staying there in a few days.
