Mascot Homestays

The positives are: located close to the airport and within easy walking distance from the train station. There are many eateries and a super market close by. A very spacious apartment with a generous parking space. Covered balcony space if you want to step outside without going down stairs. What I did not like: the apartment furnishing is very minimal and drab. I looks really old and not well maintained with marks on all the walls, chips in floor tiles, worn furniture. The apartment is not serviced, but there is a washer and drier so you can wash towels yourself. Cleanliness is questionable (dirty appliance knobs, mold in the shower, unwashed dishes in cupboard, very dirty windows), but cleaning products are provided so you can get stuck in yourself. The space also feels very unfinished with no towel rails, no toilette brush and minimal crockery provided, but the coffee machine was a pleasant surprise. There is no dedicated work space and the wifi buffers with Netflix. The shared spaces like lifts, garbage room, lobby and parking garage is covered in notices outlining issues and threatening action - dumping of rubbish (which is rife in the parking basement), people using the garden space outside of designated times etc. Definitely read the confirmation emails and check-in instructions well and have those emails handy. There is zero human interaction in the entire process so do not expect face-to-face communication of any kind.

Spent two weeks at this very convenient apartment. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Apartment was well appointed and clean. Very convenient for Mascot and its amenities and convenient for the rail station to Sydney City Centre. If you want a comfortable stay, stay here!
