 This is clearly a musallah mostly used by local (MALE) shopkeepers and apartment dwellers. It is fairly small musallah but does not feel cramped and is clean and has a peaceful feel. There is however only one small bathroom and one sink outside it for making wudu and limited space for setting aside shoes. After I made wudu in the cramped, wet bathroom, I had to wait while some brothers stowed their shoes before I could go to pray - the hallway is that small. It doesn't seem as if women usually go there at all. When my friend and I showed up, the elderly male caretaker became very flustered. After much wringing of hands and fumbling with keys, he finally directed us to what looked like a classroom off the main prayer space. This was comfortable and clean - though had we come for jumah we would not have been able to see or hear the prayers. Not the best introduction to Islam for my non-Muslim friend. Not really woman friendly space, but because an earnest attempt was made to accomodate us and no one was unpleasant, if I were in the area to shop I would go there again at prayer time.
