I originally rented this space due to have a resonably priced, Cimate Controlled Drive Up Unit. 1 month in I got a phone call that the drive up portion of that Climate Controlled space will be removed. So, I ended up renting another unit outside and they jacked the price up from $130 to $204. App has connection…

Extra Space Storage was Great!!!! When I went there the sales representative was, knowledgeable, professional, polite and EXTREMELY HELPFUL. He gave me a unit right by the door which made unpacking all the boxes out of my car so easy. The unit was clean, well lit and very spacious. I paid for four (4) months but got a house after the first month being here. I went in to the office and asked if I could get a refund for the months I wouldn’t be using it and was told “of course”. No hassles, no forms to fill in, just polite, easy refund for the unused months. I cannot recommend them enough. Everything was so easy. Best place EVER!!!!
