There are so many cool little guesthouses in Ubud you either need to get a recommendation of which ones are good, or spend a half a day walking around reconnoitering. One street I would like to come back to is Jalan Kajeng.
Jalan Kajeng - Ubud, Bali
As you can see from the paving stones they have come up with a novel way of raising money to repave the street. You can buy a stone for the street, which will then have a message or illustration carved on for you. As well as the usual “James was here 2009″ type messages there were a few advertising websites.

If I may trundle out an old cliché, then let me say that if you only see one thing in Ubud, go and see a Kecak dance.
Kecak Dancers - Ubud Bali
Hearing 100 plus performers percussively chanting “cak” as they wave their hands in the air sent my hair’s on end.
There are performances on a couple of nights a week, which your guesthouse will have details of. Check out the Kecak Dance site for more history.

Free wi-fi - Ubud, Bali
Ubud is the considered as the cultural centre of Bali. It is a popular place for expats and retreats for the mind, body and spirit. As a result Ubud has decent wi-fi availability. I would say I found better wi-fi here than in Jakarta, which must make it the best connected town or city in Indonesia.
