MUSTY

/ /

MUSTY - [adjective] smelling damp and unpleasant because of a lack of fresh air (like old buildings, long-closed rooms); obsolete; outdated (musty laws)

Why this room smells so musty? It wasn't a good idea to close all the windows for whole night.

If you'd like to sell this house first try to cover up that smell. During price negotiations a smelly property is definitely a liability. It doesn't matter if it is musty, cigarette smoke or pet odors.
