Read some helpful reviews of Stow-A-Way Self Storage at 616 Canal Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Recently, I was going through the most stressful time in my life and needed storage immediately. While shopping around I came across Stow-A-Way mini storage in San Rafael. They're clean, and I know my things are secure. Their deals are great, and the staff that I met with was amazing. The manager, Eva, was so kind and compassionate. She not only cares about this place, she cares about you! ... Read more

The place is good but way overpriced... The staff has consistently been most helpful and attentive. I moved in to a large unit in 1995 and moved out 2025. I could not continue to pay the exorbitant prices. I believe we started at about $150 per month and moved out when it hit $550 per month. I will miss the staff as they were a bright spot in visiting the storage. Larry Murray ... Read more

Eve was professional and courteous. The location is clean and the access is secure and private. The only storage unit with a private boat dock! I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice place and the best value in town. ... Read more

I’ve had storage units at a few different places over the years, but I’ve never had customer service like this. The manager, Brendan, is incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely cares about the people renting here. He answered all my questions with patience, walked me through the rental process, and made sure I got the best unit for my needs. The property is always clean, secure, and well-maintained. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I feel super confident storing my things here knowing it’s being managed by someone this responsible and attentive. Highly recommend! ... Read more

Easily accessible and clean. Perfect fit for our needs and Jessica made our move in a piece of cake.... she ensured our 10'x10' unit was cleaned (re-sweeping it herself!)... The available carts also made a big difference moving our stuff in???? ... Read more
Matt S. - 7 September 2024
Terrible, continuously raising rental fee and blaming it on inflation, place is dirty, mouse problem realized after starting to move out because of continuous rate increases. The elevator lift is a joke as it doesnt go to floor and most of the dollies/carts were in terrible condition. For as much as they charge on an open air, non climate controlled old dirty facility they should consider tearing that place down and rebuilding with a flood resistant 5 story facility, keeping the entire first floor(ground level) for parking and have a REAL elevator that goes all the way to floor so you can actually roll your cart into elevator. I made it two stars only because it was convenient location, the stair slope was better than average and onsite representatives were nice. ... Read more

The five stars is only in memory of the previous manager Leslie. She is a fantastic human being and the only reason I stayed for the 7 years I did. After quite a nasty experience with an employee of the management company, I promised her I would leave when she did and I have. A little delayed, but without her this place cannot be the same. The new property management company kept bumping my rent up until it had gone up 100 percent. Now that they have lost Leslie's charm, I was only left with the sting of the price. Wherever she is, I wish her only pure joy and health in her life. Truly a genuine person with a heart of gold. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 32 to 114 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.
