The carpet is beyond appropriate. It has stains and is thin and loose —definitely beyond its lifespan. The furniture is also chipped and dated. Stains on the big chair make for an unpleasant impression. We were staying for a week and yet had only one dishwasher tablet. No travel shampoo was also surprising for a weeks stay. The lack of salt and pepper? Surprising. It rained the entire week we were in Sydney and the dryer was poor. The location is great - but it really needs to be painted and refurbished.
