So on Saturday, my boyfriend and I decided to rent a storage space due to us not having enough space now that we are moving into a 1 bedroom apartment together. We first went to the Public Storage just down the street, and we were not very impressed. The units were a little dumpy, and rundown. Not at all what we wanted. And Vicky a worker who was helping out at that site mentioned that they had one unit available at her normal site just down the street. We went to go check it out, and this site was 100% better. It had such a good vibe. The entire complex was so clean, and the unit was perfect. We decided to rent it on the spot. We were even given a great price. We also witnessed a current renter having a complete tantrum. She was so rude, obnoxious, and yelling profanities and insults. She made a huge scene, which I thought was embarrassing. The manager kept her cool, and handled the situation very professionally. I was impressed. Not everyone can handle a situation that calmly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking. The staff is very friendly, and respectful. The site is also very clean and secure. I'm very happy with our decision. read more

Rubia was very helpful, very thorough and extremely patient. She was a pleasure to deal with! Would definitely recommend using this location for all of your storage needs. read more

Rubia gave a excellent costumer service to me. I will recommend this public storage to all my friends(: read more

Came by today to rent a unit And while I'm sitting with the manger to close up the price with all of the information and while we do that she's trying charge me extra money for something she called due days and wanted extra 70$ Personally I've rented at least a couple of times storage unit and this time I just felt like she's trying to rip me off! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF AND OVER CHARGE read more

I reserved a unit on line for a May 6 move in. Carlos called me and demanded that I tell him precisely what time on May 6 we would be moving into the unit. I told him I couldn't tell him a precise time yet because we were trying to get movers arranged and that would take a day or two. He asked if he should "unconfirm" the unit. I told him again that we would give him a precise move in time as soon as we got all the feedback we needed from the movers. He started to tell me his problems. They rent month to month. They need a precise time. I told him again that I would give him a precise time when I had it. I was waiting for feedback from the movers. He started to tell me again why he needed a precise time five days in the future and why apparently my telling him that time later in the day was a problem. I told him I didn't want to do business with him anymore. Maybe ten minuted later a loud voiced shrill woman called me to ask me to confirm the arrival time. I told her that I had spoken to Carlos the evident jackass and told him three times why I couldn't give them a time now. Loud voiced shrill lady interrupted me. So I hung up. These folks are straight jackasses. read more

I was renting a storage unit here on the first floor. After a few months I came to the unit and couldn't get in because the lock was tampered with and the key wouldn't even go into the lock. There were no cameras, so no one knew why or what happened. We had to pay out of pocket for someone to come and break the lock. We then bought a new lock, and after a few months when we wanted to move out the same thing happened again. At least this time they put us in contact with another guy who helped get the lock off cheaply and gave us a new lock for free. However, what's the point of these units if there are no cameras and no security? When we got the unit no one said that they didn't have a camera. If I knew, I would have paid more for a unit with a camera. read more

1st time getting a storage, and i got it last minute! LiteAnd so far awesome experience. Rubia helped me, very informative. I liked the location. Easy access, from what i saw very clean. That was my fear going to a dirty place full of roaches or rats. Nasty! But nope this place gave me a real good impression. Definitely recommending it to family and friends. I know someone mentioned having to input your code every time i actual don't mind the security because every tenant gets their own code so if something goes wrong, like a break in at least they know who was within the area. (: read more

I received a call from a Public Storage manager informing that they came across my unit with the lock off. The manager called me back several minutes later stating to disregard the message; it was for a different unit. I went out to inspect the unit that night and much of my property had been taken and damaged. The insurance company denied the claim in 4 hours, after the claim was submitted because the lock was still on the door. The door visibly shows damage and the drywall inside of the unit have been tampered. This type of burglary/theft has happened to several tenants dealing with PS. Staff said they could not review videos because they delete content every 7 days. They had every excuse possible. I suspect that this was a inside job. read more

Taneesha A., OMG, the SAME thing happened to me. I had my items in the unit for only ONE DAY and the manager called and told me the lock was gone and the unit was empty. Do you know the names of the other tenants who have had property stolen? I'm going to try to contact you privately. People, do NOT use the Balboa Blvd. Public Storage site! If I could give it a zero, I would. My property stolen and they wouldn't even give me my money back! :( read more

Tania was amazing. Very helpful and friendly! Knowledgeable, and easy to talk to and find a space to accommodate our needs:)

This Public Storage location was great! And what made it great was the excellent customer service provided by Steven. He was one of the nicest people you will ever meet that works at a storage facility and also the other staff Liz and Rubia were awesome too! Also they have a sweet deal where you only pay $1 for the first month. The storage itself is very clean and easy to access unlike other storage facilities. Go check it out! read more

I have been renting from this location for over 5years now and I'm so glad I chose public storage especially the Balboa location. First the location is always clean and I love that they don't close till 9pm everyday (Since I work that makes it so convenient to come after work). Other public storage locations close at 6pm and that makes it impossible to get into if you work! I also love that my storage is so easy to get to. I chose a semi drive up and love it when I need to get in and out in a hurry. Second the customer service can't be beat! Rubia is an employee I have gotten to know very well. She always has a great attitude and always willing to help if you have a question or run into any problem. I also enjoy my friendly reminder calls from Julia, you can tell she is smiling on the other line which is nice. It's always a plus dealing with people that have such nice attitudes and professionalism. Plus they know be by name which makes it even more personable. Thanks to the staff such as these girls it's always a pleasure to see them and reassuring you chose a great storage facility. Keep up the sweetness girls! If your looking for a place to store your things I highly recommend this location. You know your things are safe and well taken care of and when you need to get to your things you always know you will see a smiling face. read more

I had excellent service from start to finish. Everything was easy, fast, and friendly. Hector and Rubia were great. I highly recommend this storage facility if you are looking in the valley. read more

If you're looking for a storage company, this is not the one that you want to choose. I rented a space for several months and each time I went to the office to request help, because the elevator wasn't working or my combination or password was not working, I was told that they could not help me all they were there to do was sell spaces. Having my own business, I have never dealt with such rude inconsiderate, And uncaring people. Public storage needs to re-train their office employees! read more

Tania, Mia and Rubia are so helpful. We have a 500 sq foot unit here for a few years and we are in and out a lot. Our company really appreciates the outstanding dedication and service provided by the staff here. We are very grateful to have an amazing partner in public storage and we hope to be with hem for many more years. I trust the staff here and so should you ! read more

Came in a little nervous to ask about storage space since this was my first time ever doing this and had no idea what I was supposed to ask or what I was looking for. Julia was so nice, friendly and welcoming. She was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed. Answered questions that I thought sounded silly and showed me a few rooms. Right away I decided I would rent a storage from them because I knew I wouldn't feel uncomfortable coming in here and I got exactly what I was looking for. So thank you to Julia and Rubia :) read more

I'm in the middle of a big move and I had to rent a storage unit. This was my first time renting out storage and Tania and Rubia couldn't have been more helpful. They were super friendly and personable from the moment I stepped into the door. They made sure that I had everything that I needed and they answered all of the questions that I had. It was an amazing experience and I definitely recommend them! 11/10! read more

Vanessa was amazing and quick getting my storage affairs straightened out. Thanks for all the help Vanessa!

Great customer service! Nice employees who go over everything. Julia and Rubia were the ones who helped me out. Thanks ladies!

I was initially expecting an android to give me a unit and be done with my paperwork with no attempt to build any sort of rapport with their clients....boy, was i wrong! Rubia went above and beyond her duties to provide amazing customer service. She gave me suggestions and recommendations to ensure that i received the best deals. Her pleasant demeanor made the process more smooth and easy. The service was so exemplary that i recommended her to my father-in-law, who ended up renting a unit with her right away. Rubia is definitely not an android. She is a caring woman who simply wants her clients to get what they deserve....the best deals for storage units! read more

Rubia did such an amazing job getting me set up with my unit. She was super sweet & informative.

Awesome service at Public Storage. Vicky was great, she helped me get the right storage unit size. Took me in the car, and showed me the great spaces available. Quick, friendly, and very helpful. :) read more

Rubia and Tania are the Nordstrom team of Public Storage! After an abysmal experience at 19121 Parthenia location (rented out my reserved unit sometime after I confirmed & set an appt with property manager! No concessions for a similar size unit and handled with utter lack of professionalism.), what a 180 degree turn to get a comparable size unit at 8200 Balboa. This location is closer to our office, but $100/mo more, so bosses wanted cheaper location on Parthenia. You pay for what you get! The 8200 Balboa PS team is worth the extra money! read more
