Stan's place is a great location. We most appreciated how central it was, but also so quiet. Everyone loved their beds and the coolness of the apartment during a hot Barcelona summer. The showers had plenty of hot water for the 5 of us, and we used the washer for a couple of small loads, which we dried on the balcony. We used the amenities to make ourselves small breakfast- toaster, coffee maker (filtered). Any items that we needed to purchase were available in the small supermarket directly downstairs from the apartment. We walked to dinner most nights- La Rambla was very close and an easy destination for dinner, dessert and seeing Barcelona. Also, something convenient that we didn't notice until a couple of days into our stay. We were a group of 5, so getting a taxi wasn't always the easiest, but we downloaded FreeNow (mytaxi) and were able to request 5-person taxis. Also, on the far side of the Columbus Column, there was a taxi queue, another good place to get a 5-person taxt. We loved our time in the city and can't wait for another opportunity to come back!
