Masoud is warm, generous, and truly hospitable. He wants your visit to be a happy one. His cafe below the apartment is charming and delicious, and the apartment itself is clean, light, and stocked with such welcoming items as coffee, tea, and juice. The location in Boerum Hill is wonderful, with a number of appealing restaurants, a very good market, and a subway station all within easy reach. The Bedouin Tent Restaurant (Middle Eastern, at 405 Atlantic Ave.) and Bar Tabac (French, at 128 Smith St.) are favorite restaurants of ours, and the market is Brooklyn Fare, at 200 Schermerhorn St. The subway stop is also on Schermerhorn. All in all, a very good value.
