Based on my one week's stay at Beverley and Michael's Mascot Square airbnb, I believe you can expect finding yourself very well located between the city and airport with convenient train and road connections to explore all the great places and sights Sydney has to offer,. You will also have a delightful and comfortable place to come back in between your enjoyment of Sydney that includes your gracious hosts who have been previous fellow travellers to Sydney and are more than happy to share their knowledge and experience of the city that they know very well from making it their home of many years. Mascot also has many places offering a variety of very good and authentic food.
