I worked with Joe and Al during my relocation from Chicago to Cleveland. I was in a top floor unit…read morein a three floor walk up, and they did an excellent job conducting a move with two people that was really a job for three people. They both took great care to make sure my items were protected when loading out of my apartment and onto the truck and even helped me pack many items that I hadn't packed by the time they arrived. If ever do another long distance move again, I would love to work with both of them again. Kourtnea Stevenson

The staff are extremely courteous, helpful, and professional. All my questions were addressed up front, and I am confident that I chose the best facility around! The best part for me is the secure loading dock (garage). Even when there are other folks bringing stuff in or out, I don't have to wait more than a few minutes. If I stop by early in the morning or late in the evening, I'm typically done within 5 minutes. It's that easy. I love that the facility is climate controlled (for my own comfort primarily), and I don't have any concerns about safely, knowing that access is strictly monitored. Self Storage 1 gets my highest recommendation. Lakeview and Uptown folks, this is as good as it gets!

Mice infestation! They have issues with mice since last summer. My unit got destroyed by rodents!…read moreOver $2k in damage! The owner claims the issue is being taken care of but the mice never went away as every month I return to my unit and discover new damage! The contract you sign when renting the unit mentions no responsibility of the owner for any damage including damage done by rodents so you will be left on your own to deal with your loss. They offered $10 discount for the next 6 months for me as well as arrange the livers to vacate then disappeared. The staff is friendly but not helpful. Be mindful of this went renting from them!

This is a very safe, orderly, well-run storage facility. The location is in a very congested area,…read morebut it is very accessible and I found I could almost always use the covered parking bay when I made a point of visiting in off-hours. The units, hallways, and elevators are spotless. I never had a concern about the temperature or humidity inside the building. I appreciated that there was surveillance in all the hallways, given that it is a very large and cavernous place. In the end, the human element is what makes this facility stand out. I dealt mainly with Mario, and he is super-conscientious and pro-actively gave me every bit of information I needed to use this facility confidently, rent an additional unit, and vacate my spaces economically. I highly recommend this outfit if you live on the north side and looking for storage. To my mind, it's a near perfect arrangement for a reasonable price.

## A Smooth Rental Experience...Until the Unexpected Charge!…read more I needed to move some belongings out of a storage unit, which meant renting a van. I used to rent one occasionally from the Shell gas station, but since they no longer offer rentals, I decided to give this location a try. After reading some of the reviews, I made a point of scheduling my pickup for **7:00 AM, right when they opened**. Apparently, I wasn't the only one with that idea because there was already a couple ahead of me when I arrived! LOL! Fortunately, the check-in process was fairly quick, and the woman behind the counter was very helpful. For some reason, the link I received to verify my identity wasn't working, but she was able to take care of it using her phone. Problem solved! The van itself was clean and in good condition. I took the time to inspect it and photograph everything before leaving. Unfortunately, the link they sent for uploading the photos wasn't working either, so I wasn't able to submit them through their website. Not exactly ideal, but at least I had the photos for my own records. Returning the van was just as easy. An employee checked it back in, completed the inspection, and I was on my way. Up to this point, everything had gone pretty smoothly. I made a point of stopping for gas before returning the van, filling it back to what I believed was the correct fuel level. Imagine my surprise when I got home and discovered an additional $15 charge on my bill! By that time, I was already out enjoying brunch, and frankly, I wasn't about to spend part of my Saturday driving back there to dispute $15. That's practically the price of a cocktail, and the aggravation and extra driving just weren't worth it. So, I decided to eat the charge and move on. Overall, the rental process was straightforward, the employees were helpful, and the van served its purpose. My only frustrations were the verification and photo-upload links not working and, more importantly, the unexpected charge after returning the vehicle. Would I rent from this location again? Probably, if I needed a van. However, next time I'll make sure the fuel level is verified with an employee before leaving and double-check the final charges. A decent rental experience that unfortunately ended with an extra $15 charge and a little disappointment. Sometimes it's not the amount of money, but the principle of the thing.

I'm so glad I called in the pros instead of winging it myself. They walked through the space, asked smart questions about my cooking habits and daily routines, and came up with a layout that actually makes sense. Pots and pans exactly where I reach for them, a pantry system that keeps everything visible, drawers that don't turn into junk catch-alls. It's the kind of organization you don't realize you need until you have it. On top of the great work, they were easy to communicate with and respected my timeline.
