I've had a storage unit here since sometime in 2010. Sometimes it's empty, sometimes it's full to the brim, sometimes I leave papers and other useless junk I don't feel like lugging into my new home. It always comes in handy that I have this unit and it doesn't hurt that it's in the NE so it's in a rather central area of EP no matter where I move.
Aber is an outdoor facility, no climate control and it does get rather sandy in the units (although their is a rubber seal at the bottom of the door). The lighting is sparse at night so if you're actually coming at night you may want to leave your headlights on so you're not having to search one handed with a flashlight in the other. The entire grounds appear to be designed with flooding in mind because it's literally all downhill and each unit is up on an inch ledge. I've never had anything damaged here because of the rain.
It's all still fairly new and in great condition. There's only one entrance/exit and it's controlled with a code. I kind of hate the key pad because you have to long press certain things for it to even go through which can be pretty annoying if you haven't gone in 6 months and forgot about that. Also pulling in is a little tricky if you're in a Uhaul and actually trying to reach the key pad.
When I originally got this unit they had just finished building the place and I was told my unit was the very first one being rented. The owner's niece was managing Aber at the time and she was extremely nice and all, she even gave a huge discount on the unit (especially compared to where their prices are today), but I was waiting for a cookie or something. You don't tell someone they're the very first ever to do something and not give them some kind of prize. I'm in it for the cookies, man. read more
