Stephanie helped me with showing my unit before renting and gave a tour on the ins and outs of the place. She was incredibly sweet and helpful and made sure I understood all the charges for the rental. Thank you Stephanie! The storage itself looked clean, safe and easy to access. And the app for getting in and out of the garage seems to work well. Make sure to call beforehand and make a reservation on the day of move in or to check out the unit as they said there’s not always a staff at the front desk! ... Read more

I have always found this facility to be clean, well maintained, and I've felt safe when I was as there alone. I have found the customer service to be excellent, and I especially want to mention Rick. I have to move in a few short weeks and realized I could not find my unit keys anywhere. I spoke to a really nice customer service person from the company but then I stopped in to ask Rick what to do and he handled it with the friendliest and most efficient customer service. Moving is a stressful time and I appreciate Rick's easy demeanor and professionalism. ... Read more

Rick was incredibly kind and helpful when my partner and I lost our unit keys and needed to get back in and replace them. He was so quick, patient, and courteous, which made all the difference during a really stressful, last-minute move when we had very little time to get everything sorted. We’re so grateful for his support—it took a huge weight off our shoulders. ... Read more

I want to express my gratitude for the excellent service I received from Mrs. Stephanie. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a level of patience and kindness that exceeded all my expectations. Even though my English is limited, this lady went above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the process. She took the time to show me around the place and explained everything in detail, from A to Z. Her clarity and dedication were truly remarkable. This kind of personalized attention and effort is something I deeply value. I highly recommend this place thanks to the wonderful experience she provided. Thank you so much for your professionalism and empathy. ... Read more

Stephanie made everything so simple and straightforward—it honestly felt like we were being helped by a friend who just knew exactly what to do. She was kind, patient, and super efficient without ever making us feel rushed. You don’t always get that kind of care and attention, but she really went above and beyond. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. ... Read more

The past few months have been nothing but long and filled with chaos. Stephanie has been nothing but THE GREATEST, this morning for my morning appointment. I went in completely frustrated and came out with so much ease and frustrations lifted tremendously. I believe this has been the most pleasant experience I’ve had in the MA area, specifically at her Malden Location. Stephanie gave me advice, solutions, and an overjoyed amount of stress-relief in a stressful time swiftly. Thank you Stephanie for ALL YOU DO! Please recognize your property manager at this location, she is nothing but the BEST. ... Read more

This particular storage facility provides self storage units of different sizes, ranging from 25 to 250 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.
