Denpasar Bali
So, I am living in a miniumal Kost right now in Denpasar and I'm looking to find another place. It can just be a bedroom with a bathroom (I don't really cook)

My big thing is that it has an internet line/wifi and if possible ac. I'm willing to live in the Denpasar/Sanur/Seminyak area (just not Kuta.) And my budget is up to 2mil a month.

I'm having no luck in finding a place and I know that around here you have to know someone in order to get a place, but I just moved here so finding someone is another challenge.

Try "Ganida Rumah Kost" at Teuku Umar Barat (well known as Malboro area), it's 1.3 mio per month + electricity bill (400-500K per m)...room with tiny living room, mini kitchen, bathroom, bedroom upstairs/mezzanine, AC, tv cable, resto w/ free wifi and karaoke, minimart, good access from/to everywhere, landry shop, 24hrs security...there should be a room vacant (it's a huge place)

I know this post is a bit old, but i was interested to see whether anyone has checked out "Ganida Rumah Kost".

It sounds like what I am looking for, at a good price.
Is Malboro a good place to live?

Thanks!

I had a look last year and didn't like it, it had no windows and felt like a prison. The apartments with windows are more expensive. You're better of renting a small house for that price.

Thanks BKT. I think I was swayed by the karaoke room! I will take your advice on board. Looking in advance has helped me set a budget, but I think the smartest option is to look for a rental once I arrive. Thanks for responding!

The house I was living in before might still be up for rent, I think its 14.5mill per year now and they want to lease for 2 years. Its a newish house in Renon.

Hi, we are also in a homestay in sanur and have just gone through the nightmare of finding a house, maybe nightmare is not the right word. interesting experience. i dont know how you will go with your budget - are you looking for one bedroom??? I hear renon is a nice area close to denpassar. good luck.:icon_e_smile:

$100-150 per month does not leave you a lot of room for choice. Try word of mouth which should show up better results. You may be able to get a Kost for that kind of money

Renon is a nice, safe place to live. I've rented a house by Lapangan Renon for 2 years now, and so far it's been a pleasant experience.
