Check in was via sign language as neither the cleaning lady or I spoke each others language. The apartment had been locked up until just before we arrived. It was clean. However most of the décor had been there since the early 1900s. The curtains, the cloth wall coverings, carpets and the 5000 books most of which were in the main bedroom were at least 50 years old, as a consequence if you had any breathing disability this place was a death trap. riddled with mould and decay.I spent the 1st night sleeping on the balcony. After 3 days airing, I could spend a few hours before having to escape.
