This was the first apartment I ever lived in. I stayed here for 2 years: 1 year in a studio apartment, and 1 in a two bedroom. Back then, before they built Villa Sienna and all those condos next door, Toscana was known as the luxuriest apartment in Irvine. Now, it is being overshadowed by Villa Sienna and the condos around.
Studio was a nice size, with a walk-in closet and a decent size bathroom. The two bedroom we lived in was nice. The master is a nice size but the bathroom was tiny. The other bedroom has a huge walk-in closet and a nice size bathroom. Huge living room and a nice size dining room. We had one of those big long dining table, but even then, there's still plenty of room to move around.
Toscana still looks nice, but they may want to paint it. It does look older and worn out compare to the other buildings around.

I lived here for 2 years a couple years ago. The building is nice, the ground is beautiful.
The problem I've encountered is the parking situation. There are guest parkings, but they get taken very fast, especially on weekends. When I lived there, my friends would constantly complained about not being able to find parking. Now I don't live there anymore, when I go to visit my friend who does, I experience this myself. I'm not sure if there's not enough parking because of overpopulation or because everyone who lives there constantly have guests over.
One thing I had a problem with while living there was the noise. It's not the management's fault. Maybe because it's close to college campuses, there are many students. There were many parties going on on weekends, and sometimes on weekends. My roommates and I would yell out of our third floor window to let our neighbors know they were being too loud. It's not a problem if you don't mind the noise, but for someone who has to wake up in time for the stock market to open, this is a problem.
In general, I think this is a very nice place to live and if I didn't own a place of my own, I would probably be still living here.

This travel agency offers one of the best rates for traveling to Asia. I fly to Asia at least once a year, and I can always count on this agency to get me the best rate. But I wouldn't use them for domestic flight though. Their specialty is international travel, so they don't have the best domestic fares.

This store is super small, located in the University centers at UCI. Before Blockbusters supplied their customers with a lot of anime selections, I used to visit this store at least once a week to rent Ranma 1/2. There are not too many selections, but it's good enough for students who once in a while like to relax watching anime.

I take my little cousins and nephews here whenever they visit. They love the miniature golf and arcades Boomers have to offer. There's a MacDonald's inside the building so no worries about getting hungry. In fact, as soon as you walk in, you smell that distinct grease smell. I normally don't like fast food, but for some reasons, everytime I go to Boomers, as soon as I walk in, I crave for fries... great method of marketing, I have to say.
There's this methamorphosis type of photo booth by the entrance door that we all like. Couples can take pictures to see what their future kids will look like.. or you can even be matched up with a monkey if you'd like to see what your kid would look like if you married a monkey.
It's a fun family place.
