UBUD by the month

Hi
I have been working on my trip for several weeks and now I am sure it will be Bali.. I am wondering if anyone can recommend three places to stay by the month, that would suit retired young at heart guy who needs some quite. It would be nice to be in the centre of some social activity and cafes and bookstores near by. I am planning on the first week of Nov 2017 through till late January 2018.Any ideas or links will be well appreciated ..I am thinking around $400 month or less.. Thanks in advance. I have my Lonely Planet book here on Bali and Lombok but need some local input....thanks

Accom will be your biggest budget buster. Your best bet might be to look at one of the local Balinese homestays called "losmen." Walk in and see if you like it..don't need to necessarily commit to more than a week or so at a time. You will learn more about Balinese culture and life and It will also be much more rewarding than just hanging out with other backpackers. If you look at any of the neighborhoods just outside the "downtown" area it will also be more relaxing, say Nyuh Kuning, Jalan Bisma, Sanggingan or thereabouts.

More importantly, good travel medical and evacuation insurance. Also November through Feb is generally the rainiest and most hot/humid part of the year...

Thank you for your honest reply Rolef

Hi
I am wondering if anyone has new information on the Volcanic activity in Bali right now..I will be coming to Bali on Nov 5 this year for several months ..Thanks in advance Rolef

It's unknown what will happen with Gunung Agung. It very likely will erupt but how long, how much ash, wind direction and so forth are all up to Mother Nature. The more flexible with your plans the better. You can always do some travelling to other islands and areas still in Indonesia but not necessarily Bali or Lombok. Java is fairly easy to get to overland and by ferry for example.

Thank you for your reply....Looking forward to UBUD..and the Island
