My time at Tuscani Villas

Tuscani Villas was not the best place I have lived but was certainly not the worst. There were a couple of things that became impossible to live with.
The carpet was stained when I moved in. Make sure that in your contract you ask that they clean the carpet and ask to see the receipt with the date that it was cleaned.
The neighbor who lived above me was incredibly noisy. The floors creaked so loudly that when there was a small earthquake I initially thought it was my neighbor walking around. He/she would also pace at odd ours, like 2am. He/she would also play loud music and the next door neighbor would fall asleep with their TV on.
The parking is horrendous. If you have more than one car it's impossible to find street parking. Also, playing $600 for an extra spot is pretty rediculous as well as paying $5 for guest spots.
I know people talk about the security guard as a plus, but I was hassled by him. My car battery had died and so I asked my friend to help me jump it while we were in the garage (because I could not move my car). He waited until my friend had left and while my car hood was still open, started to yell at me that I was not allowed to park another car in the garage. This was obviously not the situation and he needed to ask me if I needed help, not start berating me about something I was not doing.
I liked Tuscani Villas but I also felt like they tried to charge for everything. Balcony is extra, dishwasher is extra, and another parking spot is extra. Otherwise it was an okay place to live. Chanelle was very nice and helped me with most of my requests, I just think their was nothing she could about the noise and should have offered some alternatives like discounting my rent. However, I feel for the price and even location that better places can be found in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.
