The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
So sorry this booking was cancelled, unfortunately there was a long term tenant staying and their leaving date was pushed back unexpectedly. To allow proper turner around time to sort the studio out for guests To stay I had to cancel this booking. All good now though!
Michael's apartment was perfect for my trip to Berlin. I stayed for 14 days and was very satisfied with the accommodations. The space was cosy and neat. The space was more than enough for a single traveler. I believe the apartment could easily accommodate a couple comfortably. I couldn't be more satisfied with the location. It is in a very nice and lively neighborhood. Excellent restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. Very easy to get to some of the best clubs Berlin has to offer. I believe Michael's description of the apartment to be accurate. I would be more than happy to stay here again. Thanks Michael!
Really nice, clean place on a perfect spot! The owner is very friendly and helpfull.
Michael is a great host! Everything was perfect there. The apartment is well located, clean, cosy, with everything we needed. Michael was really nice with us, he helped a lot with the direction from the airport, bicycle rental, advised us a lot on nice places to go, new cool areas... Next time in Berlin I will go there again. Thanks Michael!
Michael is a truly kind, dependable host. The apartment was perfect for my needs, and I would reserve again. Even though it is in the center of all the Kreutzberg action—restaurants, boutiques and nightlife—the apartment provides a quiet stay, perfect for working and relaxing. Also, biking to the center, Mitte, and even west to Tiergarden is a breeze from here. Thank you!
Michael's place is the best choice for price and location. The apartment is pratical and easy. All things provided are functionally working. The neighbourhood around, the shops, and good and cheap restaurants around worth the holiday already. Michael is very helpful, communication with him was great!
The apartment is great. It is very small but there is everything you need. And since we haven't spent much time at the apartment because we walked about Berlin all day the size really wasn't a problem. The area in Kreuzberg is wonderful. There are many bars and restaurants and some nice little shops. I really recomend "Freischwimmer" and "Club der Visionäre" they are only five minutes from the apartment at the Landwehrkanal. Michael is very nice . He was flexible abot our arrival and departure time and waited for us when our train was an hour late. Thanks Michael! We had an exciting week.
Extremely well located, close to a lot of clubs and bars. Petty close to the metro, so you can reach any place in the city easily. The apartment is cozy and quiet. I would decently stay here again!
Michael's apartment is the best basecamp in Kreuzberg if you want stay in Berlin from a few days to a couple of weeks. We were in two for a week in July. The apartment has an equipped kitchen if you want eat at home, a washing machine, free wi-fi and a large bathroom. Micheal is a perfect host and a very helpful person. Then, the flat is at only 5 minutes from Schlesisches Tor (U1), 10 minutes from Warschauerstrasse (U1 - S5/S7/S75) and 3 minutes from Görlitzer Park. Finally, the apartment is near to good choice of markets (Lidl, Kaysers, etc). Trust us, it's perfect. We will come back here next time we visit Berlin!
This is a great little studio apartment in a really cool and trendy area of Berlin. We walked outside and just loved the vibe of the neighbourhood. The apartment is clean and well-equipped with kitchen stuff and a washing machine. The bathroom is spacious and the shower is good. Wifi works well. Michael was very nice and understanding when our flight was delayed and we were late. We would totally recommend this apartment.
Michael is very nice person, obviosly experienced traveler. Everything worked with him as negotiated. He came on time, followed the house rules and left the flat very tidy. It was pleasure to meet him and give him shelter for couple of days. Highly recommended guest!
I felt like Miek was more of a friend coming into town than a guest. My boyfriend and I had a great time exploring Detroit with him, visiting a local commune, walking in the market, looking through used and rare books at King Books and hanging out making conversation in the living room. Miek is a great conversationalist and has many diverse interests and life experience to talk about. He is a polite guest, and is also very common sensical. Detroit 3 Miek!

Poor widdle government agency lost its sovereign immunity when it started working for the wrong sovereign.
What methods would it reveal? Surly they follow the law and have nothing to hide?
You should be a little more respectful. The security of the local sheep herding and bungee jumping trades is of the utmost importance.
That could reveal that we illegally shared information with foreign nations!
Can you see this dialogue?
"We cannot tell you because it would threaten the national security."
"It would threaten the national security if you tell us how you ignored laws that should protect national security by disallowing the sharing of potential trade secrets with foreign, possibly hostile, nations?"
Making sticky pistons?
You should be a little more respectful. The security of the local sheep herding and bungee jumping trades is of the utmost importance.
Don't be so snide, the sheepherding industry was nearly destroyed by the money lost from Dotcom's sharing of Pocahontas 2!
And their rights.
The MPAA is working on fixing that.

Come look at my Hoodia
My order from Miles to Go just came in today. My what large Hoodia they sent me. Along with their Huernia cousins'. They where every thing I expected of them. A large version of Huernia but with flowers much larger than all their friends.
Stush, I see the Cost going through the roof for you this year at an all time Record high! But then that's what we do, we collect & collect and collect somemore and we just can't seem to get enough.
You know something funny Stush, I was at a business meeting the other day and I noticed some plants in the office and I mentioned to some other guy's, I said, Boy those sure are some Nice looking Plants they have here, Then I started laughing & thinking, Boy!!! you know your getting old when you sound like thattalking about plants Lol...
What is it with these Cacti & Succulents that their SOOOO addictive? Does anyone ever get over this :/
You just keep on going collecting my friend, I am :) And OH YES the roots do look good ;)
Some very impressive plants and roots, indeed! Perhaps your H. gordonii will soon look like the one I linked to below.
You'll have to obtain a Hoodia officinalis so I can admire your pics of its flowers when it blooms. heh
Love the mottling on the Duvalia sulcata!
Here is a link that might be useful: Hoodia gordonii
I hope not. It must smell like dead fish laying around. I think the cops will come around and look for bodies. wantonamara = Mara Has some nice plants. I am hoping to get like hers.
Where do I find 'officinalis'. I have 'juttae' and seeds for 'ruschi' (nice large red flowers) on their way.
Yes I saw that mistack. It is Huernia somalica hybrids which has a yellow flower like the one I lost from you. Can't be sure untill thay actually flower. I really am impressed with how many limbs/arms on each plant. If I want to, I could split them up for more plants. I would not do it untill they get bigger and don't want to delay flowering.
That order was only $35.50 complete. I have seen Hoodia plants going for douple that alone.

Researchers patent new antibacterial agentJanuary 22, 2014 8:54 am | by Rhona Schwartz, Univ. of Washington School of Dentistry | News | Comments
Four Univ. of Washington School of Dentistry faculty members have received a patent for a new way of using titanium-based materials to fight oral bacteria. The patent culminates several years of work in which the group studied a novel class of substances called titanates and peroxotitanates, which can inhibit bacterial growth when bound to metal ions.
New test targets salmonellaJanuary 22, 2014 8:36 am | News | Comments
An array of tiny diving boards can perform the Olympian feat of identifying many strains of salmonella at once. The novel biosensor developed by scientists at Rice Univ. in collaboration with colleagues in Thailand and Ireland may make the detection of pathogens much faster and easier for food-manufacturing plants.
Clever chemistry and a new class of antibioticsJanuary 17, 2014 12:51 pm | by Kevin Stacey, Brown Univ. | News | Comments
As concerns about bacterial resistance to antibiotics grow, researchers are racing to find new kinds of drugs to replace ones that are no longer effective. One promising new class of molecules called acyldepsipeptides, ADEPs, kills bacteria in a way that no marketed antibacterial drug does. Now, researchers have shown that giving the ADEPs more backbone can dramatically increase their biological potency.
Project aims to produce liquid transportation fuel from methaneJanuary 16, 2014 8:13 am | News | Comments
How's this for innovative: A Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory-led team hopes to engineer a new enzyme that efficiently converts methane to liquid transportation fuel. Methane is the main component of natural gas and biogas from wastewater treatments and landfills. Another source is stranded natural gas, which is currently flared or vented at remote oil fields, and which represents an enormous unused energy resource.
Hugging hemes help electrons hopJanuary 15, 2014 3:49 pm | News | Comments
Researchers simulating how certain bacteria run electrical current through tiny molecular wires have discovered a secret nature uses for electron travel. The results are key to understanding how the bacteria do chemistry in the ground, and will help researchers use them in microbial fuel cells, batteries or for turning waste into electricity.
Bacterial syringe necessary for marine animal developmentJanuary 15, 2014 8:04 am | News | Comments
If you've ever slipped on a slimy wet rock at the beach, you have bacteria to thank. Those bacteria, nestled in a supportive extracellular matrix, form bacterial biofilms. For some marine organisms, these biofilms serve a vital purpose, flagging suitable homes for such organisms and actually aiding the transformation of larvae to adults. A new study is the first to describe a mechanism for this phenomenon.
Microbes swap for tiny goods in minuscule markets, researchers findJanuary 14, 2014 2:32 pm | News | Comments
A closer look at microbes reveals there is big business going on in their very small world, and sometimes we are part of the transaction. In a published report, an international team of researchers argue that microbes, like many animals, can evolve into savvy traders, selling high and buying low.
New way to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria: Target human cells insteadJanuary 10, 2014 12:07 pm | News | Comments
As more reports appear of a grim "post-antibiotic era" ushered in by the rise of drug-resistant bacteria, a new strategy for fighting infection is emerging that targets a patient's cells rather than those of the invading pathogens. The approach involves looking at a class of proteins called phosphatases that is crucial for bacterial but involves the use of the host cell's machinery.
Ahoy! First ocean vesicles spottedJanuary 10, 2014 10:35 am | by Denise Brehm, Civil and Environmental Engineering MIT | News | Comments
Marine cyanobacteria are primary engines of Earth's biogeochemical and nutrient cycles. They nourish other organisms through the provision of oxygen and with their own body mass. Now, scientists have discovered another dimension of the outsized role played by these tiny cells: The cyanobacteria continually produce and release vesicles, spherical packages containing nutrients that can serve as food parcels for marine organisms.
Cilia use different motors for different tasksJanuary 10, 2014 8:53 am | News | Comments
Cilia are one of nature's great multipurpose tools. The tiny, hair-like fibers protrude from cell membranes and perform all kinds of tasks in all kinds of creatures, from helping clear debris from human lungs to enabling single-celled organisms to swim. Now, physicists from Brown Univ. have discovered something that could help scientists understand how cilia have been adapted for so many varied tasks.
How to tell good microbes from badJanuary 9, 2014 9:47 am | News | Comments
To safely use bacteria in agriculture to help fertilize crops, it is vital to understand the difference between harmful and healthy strains. The bacterial genus Burkholderia, for example, includes dangerous disease-causing pathogens—one species has even been listed as a potential bioterrorist agent—but also many species that are safe and important for plant development.
Synthetic genetic clock checks the thermometerJanuary 7, 2014 12:29 pm | Videos | Comments
Genetic systems run like clockwork, attuned to temperature, time of day and many other factors as they regulate living organisms. Scientists at Rice Univ. and the Univ. of Houston have opened a window onto one aspect of the process that has confounded researchers for decades: the mechanism by which genetic regulators adjust to changing temperature.
Tiny acts of microbe justice help reveal how nature fights freeloadersJanuary 7, 2014 10:37 am | News | Comments
The idea of everyone in a community pitching in is so universal that even bacteria have a system to prevent the layabouts of their kind from enjoying the fruit of others' hard work, Princeton Univ. researchers have discovered. Groups of the bacteria Vibrio cholerae deny loafers their unjust desserts by keeping the food generated by the community's productive members away from V. cholerae that attempt to live on others' leftover nutrients.
Yeast's lifestyle couples mating with meiosisJanuary 6, 2014 8:03 am | News | Comments
From a biological point of view, the world's most exotic sex lives may be the ones lived by fungi.

Single bacterial super-clone behind epidemic of drug-resistant E. coliDecember 18, 2013 3:38 pm | News | Comments
Virulent, drug-resistant forms of E. coli that have recently spread around the world emerged from a single strain of the bacteria. The strain causes millions of urinary, kidney and bloodstream infections a year. It could have a far greater clinical and economic impact than any other strain of bacteria, including the so-called MRSA superbug.
Oil- and metal-munching microbes dominate deep sandstone formationsDecember 18, 2013 11:19 am | News | Comments
Halomonas are a hardy breed of bacteria. They can withstand heat, high salinity, low oxygen, utter darkness and pressures that would kill most other organisms. These traits enable these microbes to eke out a living in deep sandstone formations that also happen to be useful for hydrocarbon extraction and carbon sequestration, researchers report in a new study.
Superbugs found breeding in sewage plantsDecember 18, 2013 8:37 am | News | Comments
Tests at two wastewater treatment plants in northern China revealed antibiotic-resistant bacteria were not only escaping purification but also breeding and spreading their dangerous cargo. Scientists found "superbugs" carrying New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1), a multidrug-resistant gene first identified in India in 2010, in wastewater disinfected by chlorination.
Blood clots absorb bacterial toxinDecember 11, 2013 8:07 am | Videos | Comments
Blood clots play an unexpected role in protecting the body from the deadly effects of bacteria by absorbing bacterial toxins, researchers have found. Even with modern antibiotics, septic shock from bacterial infections afflicts about 300,000 people a year in the U.S., with a mortality rate of 30 to 50%. Septic shock is caused by Gram-negative bacteria, which release a toxin called lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin.
For the good of the colonyDecember 11, 2013 7:28 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
For some microbes, the motto for growth is not so much "every cell for itself," but rather, "all for one and one for all." Researchers have found that cells in a bacterial colony grow in a way that benefits the community as a whole. That is, while an individual cell may divide in the presence of plentiful resources to benefit itself, when a cell is a member of a larger colony, it may choose instead to grow in a more cooperative fashion.
Probiotic therapy alleviates autism-like behavior in miceDecember 6, 2013 9:52 am | News | Comments
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed when individuals exhibit characteristic behaviors that include repetitive actions, decreased social interactions and impaired communication. Curiously, many individuals with ASD also suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) issues, such as abdominal cramps and constipation. Using the co-occurrence of brain and gut problems in ASD as their guide, researchers are investigating a new therapy.

Scientists capture "redox moments" in living cellsNovember 25, 2013 8:27 am | News | Comments
Scientists have charted a significant signaling network in a tiny organism that's big in the world of biofuels research. The findings about how a remarkably fast-growing organism conducts its metabolic business bolster scientists' ability to create biofuels using the hardy microbe Synechococcus, which turns sunlight into useful energy.
Scientists find powerful tool for genetic engineeringNovember 22, 2013 10:54 am | News | Comments
Viruses can not only cause illnesses in humans, they also infect bacteria. Bacteria protect themselves with a kind of immune system that detects and "chops up" foreign DNA. Scientists have now shown that the dual-RNA guided enzyme Cas9 which is involved in the process has developed independently in various strains of bacteria. This enhances the potential of exploiting the bacterial immune system for genome engineering.

White Marble Bala Krishna Statue 9" Item # 57wm1e
Price: $375
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
I bought a unique, one-of-a-kind statue from Lotus Sculpture which depict Krishna sitting sideways on a cow and playing his flute, while the cow has twisted her neck around so she can gaze up at him with loving eyes. It depicts a very touching moment. The cow's posture shows such love and devotion. I've never seen anything like it. The artistic balance between Krishna and the cow is wonderful, and Krishna is very well done, with a slight smile on his face as he plays his flute. It's the most remarkable statue of Krishna I've ever seen. In addition, the shipment was extremely prompt and a proper statement of value accompanied the statue. This has been a very good experience with Lotus Sculpture. --Maris WhitakerReviewer:Maris Whitaker (Boulder, Colorado, US)
Purchased a 19" painted Ganesha. It arrived last week and it is better than expected. It was very well packed. The colors are vibrant and the hues are perfect. I was afraid they might be garish in hand, but those fears were completely unfounded. Beautiful color palette. The carving is well detailed. It is a very handsome piece. I couldn't be happier with it In fact, I was so happy that I just finished purchasing a 36" painted Garuda. Once I saw the quality of the Ganesh I felt confident in purchasing a more expensive piece. And eagerly awaiting its arrival. Had I the money and the room, I would be in trouble.Reviewer:mark drazak (Cromwell, Connecticut, US)
A wonderful, efficient streamlined purchasing system at Lotus Sculpture. The sculpture purchased is in perfect condition and is quite beautiful.Reviewer:Madhurika (, Herts, GB)
This is the first time I bought a statue from Lotus Sculpture. It arrived the next day. Well packaged. It is a beautiful Ganesh hand made wooden statue. Suggestion: it would be nice if you could list on your website if the statues you get from India involve fair trade and fair labor. I am already looking on the website for my next purchase. Thank you for the great experience and importantly for making these beautiful pieces of art available for purchase in the US.Reviewer:Varun Khanna (Los Angeles, CA, US)
I've known about Lotus Sculpture from Hinduism Today magazine and from the testimonies of friends. His site is first rate and exhaustively documented with beautiful photographs, dimensions and descriptions. I appreciate the breadth of sculptures available be they of museum quality, bronzes or brasses, or as in my case, resin volcanic stone suitable for extreme weather and a more modest budget. It was a relief to know that I was going to be pleased when I opened the box to see professional grade rigid foam packing surrounding a thing of beauty.Reviewer:Nandi (oysterville, wa, US)
Excellent arrival time, packaging, quality of statue.Reviewer:Jennifer Metzger (Hatfield, MA, US)
I recieved my stone resin Buddha and I am pleased with the product. Its much heavier and more solid than what I thought it would be. I wasnt wanting a flimsy, easily breakable statue. Thanks.Reviewer:Rob (sheridan, wy, US)
I love the Nataraja . LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT POSE STATUES OF LORD SHIVA .Please let me know.Reviewer:Manjula (Ellicott City, MD, US)
the mouse is great says my daughter in little rock Arkansas for whom it was a birthday present. 4 stars instead of 5 because it did not arrive on the 24 feb as expected but on the 26. probably due to the bad weather in Arkansas, but still it was a bit of a disappointment. but I certainly will trade with you again! thanks janeReviewer:jane wolfe (woodstock, Vermont, US)
- Materials: Hand Painted White Makrana Marble from Rajasthan, India
- Total Height Including Base: 8 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 9 x 3.5 inches
- Weight: 4 pounds
- Krishna is hand carved from one piece of white Makrana marble
- All the details are hand painted
- Krishna is one of the most widely revered and most popular of all Indian divinities
- Krishna ships the same day from our California gallery
This beautifully sculpted and hand painted Bala Krishna or baby Krishna depicts Krishna crawling with a handful of sweets. He has hypnotic, almost mystical eyes and a beautiful green feather decorating the top of his head. Peacocks are inauspicious symbols. Krishna by wearing a peacock feather is almost testing fate!
About Makrana White Marble: Makrana marble is regarded as being the oldest marble in age and the finest quality. Makrana marble is named after a small town in Rajasthan, India where it is mined. Artists have always sought out makrana marble because of its pure white color and its hardness. Makrana marble was made famous for its use as the principle stone in the building of the Taj Mahal. In sculpture the marble is often hand painted in vibrant colors giving a beautiful contrast to the pure white of the marble.
About Krishna
One of the most widely revered and most popular of all Indian divinities, is Krishna worshipped as the eighth incarnation (avatar) of Vishnu. Krishna became the focus of a large number of devotional cults, which over the centuries have produced a wealth of religious poetry, music, painting and sculpture.
The child Krishna was adored for his mischievous pranks; he also performed many miracles and slew demons. As a youth, the cowherd Krishna became renown as a lover, the sound of his flute prompting gopis (wives and daughters of the cowherds) to leave their homes to dance ecstatically with him in the forests. His favorite among them was the beautiful Radha. Krishna's youthful dalliances with the gopis are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Krishna affirms life in his pranks, music and lovemaking.
The rich variety of legends associated with Krishna's life led to an abundance of representation in painting and sculpture. The most reknown story surrounding Krishna is the Bahgavad Gita or Gita which is considered one of the most importatnt Hindu texts. The Gita is the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. Krishna is explaining to Arjuna that it is Arjuna's moral obligation to fight in a war that will put him against some members of his family. Krishna like Vishnu is an upholder of the moral order of the universe.
White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
- You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
- Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
- DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

The Space
A beautiful quality 5 star villa approx. 3 km from the Ubud Palace which is the centre of Ubud. Rice fields surround the villa and at the rear is a magnificent jungle view. The villa is private with two very separate air conditioned bedrooms both with ensuites and private patios. There is a kingsize bed in the main house and a double bed in the smaller guest room. The pool is magical, overlooking the jungle with a large bale and outdoor kitchen along side. All visitors comment on the 'energy' of the place. It is truly peaceful and quiet.
The villa is typical of Bali in that the design is very much outdoor living with a separate covered outdoor kitchen and bale.
Airport pick up is available at the lowest rate. This is recommended as the villa is sometimes difficult to find for a driver not from Ubud.
Six days a week and for four hours a day there is a maid who cleans. She is happy to cook if you wish for an extra payment from you.
A gardener and pool person comes twice a week.
It is best if you hire scooters to get around. Drivers are very cheap to get to and from the villa.
Guest Access
Guests will have private access to the whole villa.
Interaction with Guests
I am often travelling so not always in Ubud. I check my emails many times a day should I need to be contacted. Please enjoy the villa.
The Neighborhood
The neighbourhood is very beautiful. The village was featured in the 'Eat Pray Love' film. What I personally love about it, is that it is not a typical village populated by expats. It's a very typical Balinese village with a famous Jegog temple nearby. The village people are very friendly and will welcome you. Enjoy!
Getting around
Walking to Ubud takes 35 minutes and is 3km.
The trip in to and out of Ubud with a driver costs about $4 or 40,000rp.
Scooters can be hired for you so that they are at the villa on your arrival. Just let me know. They cost approx. $6 or 60,000rp per day.
Bicycles can be hired also .,
Have fun!
Please treat the villa with love and respect.
We had the pleasure of staying at Villa Rumah di Surga for 5 nights which is located up in the hills amongst the rice paddies. The villa is beautiful, definitely a hidden haven, if you want to relax and get away from it all, yet have centre of ubud only a 5 minute scooter ride down the hill, easy as! The beds are large ~ a little hard but still comfy, the pool is amazing and you really feel one with nature and your surroundings.
Wayan the maid… where do i start, I recommend you use her as much as possible, she literally is at your beck and call. She cooks amazing omelette's & banana pancakes for breakfast, is a masseuse and gives the best balinese massages at your villa. She also cleans daily (except tues) and will help you with any tours, organising scooters you name it ~ she's an all rounder! They don't get paid much so I recommend tipping even though you don't have to, and be generous she's well worth it!! The one thing I regret is not being able to pack her in my suitcase to take home with me!
Overall was an amazing 5 days at a beautiful villa in a perfect location… Thanks also for the late checkout Sandy will definitely be back!!
My wife and I stayed here for the first week of our honeymoon and it was perfect. It was an ideal location from which to explore Ubud and also have a very private, tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle and all the other travelers. The pictures and description of the Villa are very accurate. Wayan (the maid) is remarkably helpful. Don't miss the opportunity to have her make you an amazing Balinese feast for dinner. I would highly recommend a stay here for your adventure in Bali.
I cannot fully describe how fabulous this place is ... Truly a slice of heaven in the jungle on one side and rice fields on the other. We loved every minute and I can't wait to return. It is about 3kms from Ubud - we took scooter rides to the yogabarn most mornings and once the heat got too overwhelming we were whisked back to sip coconut water and in the serene pool... Wayan looks after the house and is a delight- a fabulous cook, sometime-bike taxi, and a beautiful warm and engaging soul ... She makes the space a special haven... Sandy was an extremely helpful and responsive host ... Loved it
Thanks Sandy for an enjoyable and hassle free stay. Driver was waiting at airport as organised by her and the villa was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Maid came on time to make breakfast each day. Pool was nice and clean. The town is about 35 mins walk downhill or a less than 10 min cab ride. There was a cab / tourist office a few mins walk from the villa that took us down if we were in a rush. Would happily stay again.
The villa is exactly as described.. It's pirate yet not secluded being only a few kilometres from ubud centre.. An easy ride on a scooter in a couple of minutes.The pictures tell all of the villa, it's beautiful and a credit to the owner..(I wish it was mine) and I'm sure that anyone that stays there will enjoy every minute of it as we did recently..I'd return again anytime to the villa and to ubud!
True to its namesake, this house is quite heavenly. I stayed last week with a group of friends, and we loved it. It's spacious, beautiful, serene, and well-maintained. Best of all, it's isolated from Ubud just enough so that it's quiet and calm, but not so far that you can't easily walk into town. They'll make you banana ginger pancakes in the morning, and cook dinner for you if you'd like! We were sad to leave the House in Heaven and could've happily remained there during our entire stay in Bali (but wanted to see the beach, too). I highly recommend this house as a peaceful alternative to the hustle & bustle of central ubud.
We came to Bali for our honeymoon and stayed in Ubud for one of our stops. This villa just blew us out of the water! It had a great setup, was very private, and close to the center of the town where you can find shops, and restaurants. The maid, Wayan, was very helpful and cooked us some great meals.

The villa in Bali reflects her love of all things beautiful.

@evosteevo a bad joke? Naw. My first thought was, "the day before Valentine's Day eh? Classic!!" But yeah that too... A Friday the 13th the day before V-Day bwahahahaha!! I'm stoked though. I'll be trading mine in for the new XL. Happy V-Day to myself.

@Diddy_kong ... or I could spend $12 and do some tinkering and not have to spend $275ish for a new console + the game. I'm just throwing a hypothetical comment to match your hypothetical one.
I bought a 3DS on Black Friday just for this game. I've heard talking for months about how great the story is and how emotional bonded you become with the characters. I love a good story. So I snag'd a XL on BF, and finally found FE for $15 (new) at Best Buy during Cyber Monday week sale. Was totally stoked!! This is my first SRPG, and I'm enjoying it.
If only MMX was available on 3DS.....
So it's on the eShop meaning digital and yet it's only for WiiU? I know what eShop stands for, but why not make it for both platforms? This isn't a new game by any means. Please pardon my "newbie Nintendo mentality" as I'm new to the 3DS family as of Cyber Monday. On the other hand, PSN offers most PS1/PS2 on both PS3 & Vita and you only buy it once/play on both systems. I hope to see that feature incorporated eventually, but I won't hold my breath.
This happened last week or so with A Link to the Past for 150 gold coins, of which I had enough, BUT only for WiiU eShop. My heart sank. Wouldn't it be a spectacle to be able to play ALttP & the new Link between Worlds on the 3DS? Yes!..... But that isn't happening. Any ways, hopefully they'll do that sometime in the foreseeable future. As for MMX, I'd love to purchase & play, but alas it is not for my 3DS nor me.
