Masoud´s place was the best choice in our trip to NY. First of all it is importante to say that the department is very well located: close to different subway lines, you gan get in 10 minutes to Manhattan. You have also good restaurants a few blocks around and the best supermarket just in the corner (with excellent organic food every day).
The department is really cozy and it has everything you need in any place you stay for a trip. I am a cook and I was really surprised with all the elements Masoud has in the kitchen, it is a fully equiped kitchen.
The bathroom is a litlle bit tiny but it was not a problem for us.
Masoud is the best host. He is genuinely worried you feel comfortable at his place. You can ask him for anything and he will be pleased to help you.
We highly recommend Masoud´s place. If we ever go back to NY we are goign to stay there without any doubt.
