Greetings from Singapore, Sampo and Putu!
I stayed at Three Win Homestay for 2 nights in late May. It was unplanned, and happened unexpectedly, but looking back, I am glad that it happened.
As compared to the previous homestay that I was staying at, Three Win provides a quieter environment for me to live in - for instance, I was not woken up in the early hours of the morning by incessant crowing of roosters. (:
Three Win Homestay is newly opened building situated in the compounds of the family home itself. I was apparently the first/ one of the first guests to stay there, and can vouch that everything is still new and in tip-top working order. The bed is comfy, the toilet is hygienic, the fan speed is adjustable, the hot shower is good, and the room is spacious. There is even a huge wardrobe for you to keep your stuff in, but I didn't use it.
There is also a balcony for you to relax at by taking in the scenery. Breakfast is also served there, so you can eat and enjoy the scenery at the same time. Coffee powder and hot water is available in the balcony for you to make your own cup of coffee whenever you want to.
The hosts are gracious, friendly and approachable. You can ask them anything about Ubud, or Balinese culture in general. They have 3 children (who are all named Win, and hence that's how the name 'Three Win Homestay' came about), but they are all well-behaved so don't be hesitant to stay here if you are worried that they might disrupt your sleep or anything like that)
Three Win Homestay is located on a little street off Hanoman Street, which is in downtown Ubud itself. The homestay is probably about 3 minutes walk from Hanoman Street itself. It is safe to walk at night even though it might seem a bit dark.
Three Win Homestay is definitely on my accommodation list the next time I'm visiting Ubud, Bali!! (:
