Stan's place is exactly as described. It is an easy walk to Las Ramblas, the port and the Gothic Quarter. The apartment building is clean, comfortable and quiet. Coffee, laundry amenities, and comfortable bedding all helped to make our stay even better. Also, it is easy to get a taxi on the street out front and there is a convenient little market right downstairs.
Stan's English is perfect which was very helpful due to our limited Spanish. He communicated everything we might want to know about the apartment and gave us great tips on restaurants and sites in the area. When the world returns to normal, we hope to return to Barca and hope to stay here again.
