We will visit Barcelona in October 2020. 3 nights before boarding cruise. What hotel is recommended to allow easy access from the airport, to the hop on hop off bus, fountain and then cruise port ? If no hotel fits the bill, what area should I search for Airbnb or VRBO ? I will appreciate any and all guidance.

Wow ! I was hoping at least 1 expat would reach out ... disappointing. Oh well, arrangements made.

Best places for tourist info is either TripAdvisor or Rick Steve’s country forum.

For hotels, I like the AC Chain away from tourist areas but close to subway. Stayed at AC Victoria Suites which were nice and had great breakfast included. Previous visits were apartment rentals in Eixample near Sant Pau/Sagrada Familia and Gracia.

Take some time and get to know the zones of the city in a preview trip if you can. Do what works for you... unlike the US, you are paying the rental agents at least a month's rent for their services, so call SEVERAL and see what each can find. Be very clear what you are looking to rent, and walk around in the area and call the numbers from the signs in the windows.
