The guest house is in the backyard of a house in a quiet residential neighborhood. I was really looking forward to two nights and one full day of peace and quiet as the previous reviewers reported, and was dismayed to learn - late on Friday when I checked in - that the backyard right outside the guest house would be the scene of an all-day "bazaar" or yard sale of Balinese goods that a friend had imported. There were items for sale all over the yard, including right up to the guest house door. The next morning I wasn't sure what would happen so I woke up early to try to beat whatever noise was happening, and stayed out longer than I would have liked that day. I expressed my stress to the host about the yard sale, and frustration that I wasn't told in advance - she was very apologetic and said it was only planned recently and that she'd try to make it easier. However, even then, she didn't clarify that it was also scheduled for the next day (Sunday) as well. As compensation for this mix-up and not notifying me in advance she did offer credit for a future stay, but I'd much rather receive a partial refund for this stay. Though the yard sale did not end up being as busy or loud as I feared, it was not disclosed in advance and the threat of a noisy backyard during the morning and day affected my sleep/wake schedule and use of the space over the weekend (I woke up earlier and stayed away more than I would have liked). I really hate to have to write a negative review because the host is very nice, welcoming, helpful and was very apologetic -- I just don't think it's fair to pay full price in this situation.
