Last month we spent 6 nights at the Cendana Resort & Spa, on Monkey forest road. It is very central right near the Soccer field in Ubud. Not a huge place, well within your budget. No need for transport as you are in Ubud. The propery is on flat ground so no steps. The back pool (they have 2) overlooks rice fields. And we had one of the more expensive rooms which was large and clean. There is a resturant on site but we only had breakfast there. This place is well within your budget. I booked via their website with no problems.
We have also stayed at the Kajane also on Monkey Forest road. This was also a very nice place. We had a 2 bed villa with private pool. Was a bit more price wise though. If you get a room at the back of the propery there are alot of steps though. More upmarket than the Cendana though. I also booked this one direct with the hotel.
