Read some helpful reviews of Extra Space Storage at 1539 East Main Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Carina S. - 27 October 2025
I needed some storage to assist with the sudden passing of a family member. It was a very tragic situation and this was not something I was looking forward to. I found that the ability to sign up for storage online was extremely easy. I have ample space. The cost is reasonable. And I wanted to pay a special compliment to Galen the site manager at the El Cajon facility on East Main street. I had several questions since I've never used a storage unit before and she was extremely professional, very thorough, easy to understand, and really the epitome of customer service. She helps make the entire experience that much easier. Very grateful. ... Read more

Sossity C. - 19 August 2025
Sign up was quite easy and the storage units a good value for the size. Access to the unit was also quite easy once I found where it was at. It would have been nice to have a map to show me where the storage unit was, kind of like they have in a mall. Other than that everything is clean and secure ... Read more
John B. - 1 August 2025
Extra Space Storage has been my storage facility for over 10 years. I have had experience with a lot of different employees. Their employees are very nice and are happy to work with you if you get in a bind. Just reach out. The units are nice and the doors are easy to open. My only complaint is that they are pricey. Other than that I am very satisfied. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 20 to 300 square feet. Space is not an issue! If you have more belongings to store, or simply bulkier items or even vehicles, you should go for larger storage units.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
