Fabulous for comfort and convenient location. Kitchen needs a better fitout for serious cooking, but I assume most are eating out. Problem was I stayed at an apartment for Hari Nyepi SO that I could cook. One medium sized frying pan only! No saucepan (pot) (Indo=panci) for boiling rice, noodles, egg, or any saucepan cooking. One pan to do it all.
I prepared for H Nyepi by buying a takeaway dinner the night before, ‘heating it in skilket’ with some burning of course. Don’t expect a MW in Bali 😊. Talked to the owner about the terrible instant coffee, that he should offer Balinese coffee at a minimum with breakfast. Breakfast ho-hum, so if included, take it, but don’t pay extra for it. Supermarkets at Beachwalk and Matahari are great for fruit, yogurt, and healthier breads. Milk, water and beer are everywhere, ‘on every corner’. But do take the delish banana bread, small fruit, butter, jam and honey (and white bread and choco cereal if you like that processed junk)
Also, a hair dryer would be nice, we’ve come to expect that? Even lower wattage, for the electrical grid.
DVD player and TV were great! For the confined “Day of silence”
(I did stay in the superior 1-bedroom instead of studio. So spacious!)
