This property is an absolute steal considering how much you will save on transportation if you're someone who doesnt mind walking a few km here and there. There are many places to shop and eat, some critically acclaimed,and some secret gems. The hotel itself is located down a friendly market alley where welcoming vendors are set up along the sides. The personnel on site are awesome and Manek, their driver, offers very honest prices, and will share his knowledge with you along the way, like an impromptu tour guide without the hefty pricetag. His car is new, clean, and hes a great driver. He is also deeply rooted in the ubud community, and can make recommendations if you need. I would choose nowhere else to stay.
That being said, the room had a very slight odor, which seems normal to many places in Bali because of the humidity.
All in all, aurora house can offer you a room for a great price in an amazing location, and hospitality that money can't buy. Five stars for the heart and vibe.
