    As Taha Hussein's grandson I know the house well. While it has generally been well maintained, some aspects need attention and a budget. Floors have been allowed to become shabby, with haphazard coverings. Furniture has been reupholstered poorly. Shutters need a paint job. Considering that in the two hours I was there there were no other visitors, it is perhaps understandable that there is no incentive to make the effort. It is a pity that the garden, once the main attraction of the residence, is no more. I suppose visitors are naturally more interested in the house.
