Read some helpful reviews of Mini U Storage at 405 Swann Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

★★★★★
★★★★★
I’m SO glad I found Mini U! With a gap between leases, I had to find somewhere to store my things for a few days, and I was stressed about how much money/work it would take to find an affordable unit AND pay for movers to help. The Mini U staff was very responsive and friendly from the start, especially Shirley! They offer so many great promotions and services, including a deal with a moving company where they cover 2 hours of your move. The facilities are clean, easy to access, and equipped with plenty of loading space and dollies. Mini U was an awesome option for my very short-term situation. I’ve already been mentioning them to people and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for storage in the area! ... Read more

I had to switch storage facilities unexpectedly with my belongings on the moving truck (see my review for SecureSpace in Arlington), and came back to Mini U Storage. I had previously rented with them and was impressed with their climate controlled, clean facility, so I thought it was my best option. Mini U saved the day! Within minutes, I had secured two large units (discounted for the first month), and our movers were able to unload us quickly using one of the several loading dock options. Mini-U also allows renters to use a courtesy van or truck for a very reasonable $20, and that definitely came in handy a few weeks later. Special shout-out to Kierston, who is a model for customer service and professionalism. She was extremely compassionate and calm during my stressful situation. She reached out when she noticed I hadn't locked my unit completely, and also when I was nearing the end of my rental term to make sure I didn't get overcharged. She's a nice, pleasant lady who cares about people and treats them well. I would definitely, definitely rent here again. ... Read more

I can’t say enough good things about this storage facility. Everyone that works there is so kind and helpful. I feel safe going there alone, even in the evenings, and the place is clean, thoughtfully designed and fairly priced. We’ve rented two units there at different times and can’t imagine going anywhere else! ... Read more

One of the best storage places I've used in my many PCSs in the military. They have a large box truck or a van you can use for free upon renting your unit (there is a damage fee and a 50 dollar deposit, you get back) First month is free! ... Read more

Mini U storage was a blessing as my family and I had to relocate from DC to Florida on short notice but we weren’t sure if we would come back or not and Mini U storage has excellent, kind service and good prices that allowed us to make the transition smoothly. Even coming back to retrieve me belongings Kirsten and Henry were once again extremely kind, professional and helpful in our move out process. I highly recommend! ... Read more

This place is incredible! Henry is the most friendly person and you can tell he loves what he does. The property was immaculate even though they were doing construction. They have a gorgeous wine storage area that will be opened soon. The lighting is very well done and makes you feel secure. They have a great selection of moving supplies in the office. You MUST go see this place! ... 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.

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.
