My client used to date a gal, and was still friends with her after they stopped being an item. Somewhere around 2008 or so she wound up marrying Hef... which didn't seem to last very long. She reported back pretty much the same thing... the mansion was really dated, and stank of animal pee everywhere.
I guess his sense of smell conked out at some point and he stopped noticing things like that.
And was too nearsighted to notice "The Grotto" looked and smelled like a Petri dish culture brewing.
