downstairs bedroom in Sabruna, South Jakarta

This is the main bedroom, downstairs. There's an ensuite bathroom, shared with one other bedroom (which is usually empty). The space Open, airy, spacious, quiet, cool, shady, with views of river and forest. Our guests can't believe they're in the middle of a city of ten million people... Guest access Natural Swimming Pond. We've built a eco-pool on the river bank, below the verandah. The pool water is filtered through the sand and gravel below the spiral staircase and by the climbing plants - the ones you can see on the verandah upstairs and outside the windows of the rooms upstairs. There are fish in the pool, but they hide away whenever anyone goes near the water. There's a shower next to the pool, with hot (solar) and cold water. Please don't use any soap or shampoo at the pool shower, as the shower water mixes with the pool water. Wifi. There's wifi in the house. Bicycle. There's a men's bike you can borrow, fun to take up to the shopping mall. Filtered water. All water for the house comes from a well. We filter this water for drinking through Pureit, a four stage filter that cleans the water to World Health Organisation standard. During your stay My partner, Avi or I stay in the house for a few days each month. Our house manager, Mbak Tyas, stays in the house, and will usually be there to greet you, arrange breakfast etc. Her English is excellent. Other things to note Like most places in Jakarta, Sabruna is only a few hundred meters from several mosques. The first call to prayer is at 4.30 AM, when it is still dark outside. You will definitely hear it, but, unless you want to get up and pray, the best thing to do is to lie there and enjoy the sound of the different calls, which only last five minutes, and then go back to sleep.
