Slept well.

She was concerned that it would be musty and said that she would contact her cleaner to air the property. When we arrived the musty smell met us so we opened as many windows that we could so as to try and solve the smell. I have to say that after a few days the smell was still there so we had to leave because it was not pleasant to be there and had no choice but to go. Also on inspection we discovered black mould under some of the windows which could be a health hazard.
