Oh so cool! We're coming to Ubud in March for about 3 weeks - I actually asked in a facebook group if it's better to book an Airbnb in advance or just find a place in the first few days. The vast majority of responses were just links to people's Airbnb listings 🤦♀️
So, perhaps I can extend the question to you - what do you recommend? We just want to have our own place in Ubud that's clean, tidy and reasonably priced.
Are you coming up for the Bali Spirit Festival? That is the first week of April I think it is. During that time it gets very busy in Ubud and is worth having a place organised for that week. :p
When we are there, we often stay at a lovely small hotel amongst the rice fields called Uma Mandi Hotel. My boy has become best mates with the owners son over the years so we both really enjoy it there.

We usually get our favourite room for about 300idr a night including breakfast. The food is not great, but it is literally just down the road from all of the best Vegan and yoga joints. ;) So the location is fantastic. You can also get delivery from most of the restaurants to the hotel anyhow. :)
If you need a driver, my man Made over there would be happy to come pick you up from the airport and look after you. Always good to have a trusted driver waiting for you when you arrive. ;) Also I highly recommend renting a scooter while your there too. Usually about $5aud a day or you can get a month hire for about $60-70aud.
I have a few really good friends there full time as well who can surely offer some tips for anything you might need.
I should also be there offering my work at a retreat that is set to run over the bali spirit festival. So maybe Ill see you cats around! :)
Enjoy Steemit, and dont hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions or I can help in anyway.
Nice meeting you both!
Oh I hadn't heard of Bali Spirit Festival until now - thanks for mentioning it, it looks pretty awesome! I'm afraid we leave too early though, we're flying from Singapore to Barcelona at the end of March, so will only be in Bali for the first three weeks.
Thanks for recommending that place! I will definitely look into it. Perhaps we can all meet for a meal in Ubud :)
Ah looks like we will just miss each other. I will be arriving just in time for the Bali Spirit Festival, as I have another gig over in Queensland first just before it.
Enjoy your adventures and get in touch if you need any further connections or help in regards to Ubud. :)
Oh I see, that's a shame. Hope you have an amazing time at the Spirit Festival! :)
