Nothing super special about the decor of the masjid. Since it is centrally located it gets a lot of use and it does show. Khutbas are in English which is great. Main prayer space (men's area) is large and airy. The women's prayer space is large enough for the need but is rather dingy. Women cannot see or hear the imam unless the speakers/TV are working. Alhamdullilah, speaking for the women's area there is always a warm, welcoming feeling from the sisters who are regulars. Because of the location, the egalitarian feel of the masjid (the khateebs are rotated) and the fact that the khutba is in English this is my husband's favorite masjid. I rate it okay - I don't feel uncomfortable there and sisters are welcoming but women's space could be better (less grubby and dingy) and I prefer to be able to see and hear the imam/khateeb.
