'Mas Blanc' is a great place to stay! Far from the madding crowds of the city, yet near enough to visit regularly, preferably by train. The apartment is perfect for two people or a small family - it is cleverly designed with everything you need during your stay, including a pool (if the weather had been warm enough!).
Estella is the perfect host, giving a warm welcome and some excellent advice, especially in finding your way around an unusually complicated area....a sat-nav is very useful. The area has some lovely walks and, further a field, some spectacular sights, both in Barcelona and further west. (Eg Montserrat!!)
We can recommend it highly and wouldn't hesitate to return when we next visit Barcelona. Thank you!
