    Been staying here for about 5 years now. It can get a bit noisy around Halloween, what with all of the footsteps you hear above you (especially if your unit happens to be located near the Black Angel). All in all, though, it's a pretty nice place, especially considering that you get to meet other residents from very different times. I highly recommend choosing this place when the day comes!

    It’s amazing how much life there is in this graveyard. We saw a stoic-looking grey cat who has a skinny tail, two families of deer, numerous birds and rabbits and squirrels, and people taking a stroll with their dogs. Late summer golden hour in this place is so serene
