Chris Smith at Extra Space Storage absolutely knocked it out of the park. He’s the manager, and from the moment I walked in he was extremely helpful, thorough, and professional. He took the time to walk me through everything, answered all my questions clearly, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. The facility itself is truly state-of-the-art and exceeded my expectations. It’s clean, well-maintained, and feels very secure. I was genuinely impressed from start to finish, and I would recommend this location to anyone looking for storage. Thanks again, Chris! ... Read more

We chose Extra Space Storage due to proximity to our home. Chris was wonderful right away! He was personable, thorough, gave a tour, offered various options, gave clear & concise directions, and was always available to assist when needed. To say he went above and beyond really is an understatement. Chris is a valuable asset to the company. The facility itself is clean, quiet, and well maintained. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. We ended up having to relocate which is the only reason we ended our stay, but if we are ever in the area again & have storage needs, this is the location I would choose to keep our items safe and secure. Thanks for everything! ... Read more

Chris at the front was a great representative of this facility. he is very helpful and goes above and beyond. I would recommend this facility to anyone based on my experience with Chris. I had my items in the storage for almost 3 years and everything I took out didn’t have any mold, mildew, or even bugs, which is a huge indicator of cleanliness, especially in New Orleans, Louisiana. ...

He is very communicative and gets you in and out of your unit promptly when you need it, providing you with all necessary information and your lock. Really great experience, seamless, if I was staying in New Orleans I would have kept my unit here without a doubt. ... Read more

Chris was a great help throughout my time here. He really works with you to get the best unit for your needs and best price for it. He also is very transparent about the necessities such as insurance and prorates. Chris even assisted my move out process since I was alone to move out a 10' by 15' unit. I appreciate all of his help. I'm glad to have chosen this storage facility over others just because he made the experience so pleasant. Thanks Chris! ... Read more

5 Stars – Exceptional Service from Chris! I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to take a moment to shout out Chris at this storage facility. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to walk me through all of my options, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot), and made sure I understood everything clearly. Chris has a great personality—super easy to talk to, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping people find the best solution for their storage needs. He didn't try to upsell or rush the process; instead, he made the entire experience feel stress-free and smooth. The unit itself was clean, well-maintained, and secure, but honestly, it was Chris’s customer service that sealed the deal for me. He went above and beyond, and it's rare to find someone who takes that kind of pride in their work these days. Highly recommend this facility—and if you get a chance to work with Chris, know that you're in excellent hands. ... Read more

Sophie F. - 17 March 2025
This was by far the smoothest and most pleasant experience I've had setting up a new storage Unit. Chris, who works at the place, welcomed us and gave us a full tour making sure we had all the information we needed to access the space. It literally felt like someone had just rolled a red carpet for us! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 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.

Monthly prices for units offered by Extra Space Storage - 540 North Cortez Street start from $84 and can go up to $1,009 for larger spaces.

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.
