This public storage is not located in the best area, just outside there are many homeless people with trailer parked on the street, however the storage itself is safe and somehow maintained. The company I work for has a unit where we store things we don't use constantly so I had the occasion to come a couple of times and I don't really like it here... I used the restroom just when they opened at 9.30 and it was disgusting, meaning they don't often clean it. The lights inside sometimes go off and it takes a little bit for them to come back which makes it inconvenient if you are moving stuff in the dark... not a huge fan.... The storage unit go from small to pretty big, not 100% sure of the price so I won't comment on that Convenient that you have a code to access but then why is it so dirty? read more

Public Storage - Self Storage Near Me - Van Nuys, California

When the location I was in was going to be remodeled I needed a new place to put my stuff. I thought it would be very difficult because all the renters would be scrambling to find one too. One call to the main office a very kind and courteous lady found a place that was much closer to me and at a much lower price. I booked the space and was very happy with the arrangement. Very nice and knowledgeable people there, especially Liz, that walked me through the process quickly. I have been a customer for nine years and every person that I have met has been very helpful and made the process easy. read more

Very friendly customer service! Theo made the process quick and efficient from start to finish. Moving things back and forth is already tiresome, he was super helpful with choosing the best unit size and placement. Overall outstanding service, thank you! read more

If you are a person who has a job, this place won't work for you. The access you will have to your stuff will only be when you're working. The only reason I gave two stars was, the facilities are cleaner than SOME of the others.... There are others that are just clean just look around. WORST HOURS EVER!!!! After seeing the horror stories of 3 rate hikes in 6 months from other reviews on here, I'm moving out next week. I just moved in 3 weeks ago. But this place won't cut it for me. read more

the worst building, elevators do not work, it's dirty, management is not friendly, it raises the voice for its customers, the visitor drags things up the 3rd floor on the stairs, construction is also underway and one of the buildings is not working but there are no signs that it is not working, I I don't feel safe here, there is nothing to breathe in buildings, no hoods, no air conditioners! I do not advise you this storage ! read more

Public Storage - Construction, not to work ! - Self Storage Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The company Public Storage is the worst. They will promise a certain rate, then they will randomly add erroneous fees and increase your rent a few months after you move in. My rent went up 30% for no reason! They have poor customer service and they just don't care. Total BAIT AND SWITCH practices. Steer clear. read more

Customer service was absolutely terrible - I out of the country for a month and with the time zone difference it meant I could only reach customer service 1am-8am my time. Every time I called it would go to voice mail (does nobody answer the phone?) and it ended up being a game of phone tag. I even said in multiple voice mails to please just email me as it would be easier that way to communicate but no emails were ever sent. Absolutely terrible customer service. Would not recommend to anyone read more

I got a really good deal on a 5X12 storage in Van Nuys, got there before 6, loaded everything up in a cart and couldn't get access to the elevator, my people were inside waiting for me to come back. I walked out to the office outside the gate, I looked at my watch that said 6:03. Nobody in the office and I couldn't get back in. I tried my access code and it gave me an 800 number to call. I finally got someone who told me, after Six, everything shuts down. NOBODY told me that at the beginning. I was lead to believe I had access and an access code 24/7, apparently that's not true. At 6pm everything shuts down, even the front gate you use to leave the property. You have to call Customer Service to open the gate for you so you can leave, WTHell. All I got was I'm so sorry your going thru this. So if you rented a truck, and you have a large load, get to PS at least an hour ahead of time so you don't have to rent a truck for a second day with this policy, had I know , I would have gone somewhere else!!!!!!! Positives,...people were really nice the facility is clean and cool. read more

Jasmine in the front office was great to work with; she was professional and welcoming. The facility was clean and appears to be very safe and secure. We needed to rent storage at the last minute. They were able to give us several options to accommodate us. Everyone we encountered from our initial inquiry on the phone to our in person on site move-in, were very helpful and friendly. They made the move-in process very easy and efficient. We were treated like a valued customer. read more

First-class hidden gem storage place with excellent customer service from both: Liz, the manager, and the amicable Andrew, the Assistant maintenance young man. They both are very courteous, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to help the customer. The place was clean and spotless. Liz was great at answering all my questions and concerns. Not only a very professional manager, but also a very knowledgeable and amiable company representative. I strongly recommend this place--5 stars to Liz-the front office manager. Alain. read more

I don't recommend this place whatsoever think twice before getting locked in with a good rate after four months and they will raise their prices without a notice. There is never any carts available. Bathrooms never work. They charge a lot of money and can't even maintain and service the restrooms. Please don't waste your money on this. I read a lot of bad reviews about this place, but gave them the benefit of the doubt go somewhere else. read more

Tried calling several times over the last few days for several issues. The $1 storage is only somewhat true, my actual price was around $70 including the lock, mandatory insurance, etc. I rented from 5/11 and now I'm being charged $98 before the month is up for the rental period starting from 6/1-6/30. This is before my initial issue that I've been calling for (being charged the $70 3x) has been solved because no one has been answering the phone. They have an after hours line that I've also tried to call that just no one answered. I sincerely regret renting from public storage and from this location. read more

Today I showed up to move into my storage unit. I was told I had to climb a ladder and lift boxes into the unit. It was high above another unit. If I was told this at the start I would NEVER have signed for the unit. I asked if they had another unit and they quoted me a price that was 4x more. I never even saw the unit and they refused to refund me the "Admin (Move in) Fee" even when I did not "move in". If you do not add a DISCLAIMER about ladder for someone with bad knees -- YOU NEED TO GIVE A REFUND. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. read more

Jośe is my favorite person of all time, so helpful and kind. I appreciate him and his team so much! The setup to get in to a unit that isn't on the first floor can be complex, make sure to give yourself pleeeenty of time to unload, you'll need it. The earlier you arrive the better, especially since this is a new building and a lot of people are moving in. read more

Wish I could rate 0 stars. Do NOT go to this storage unit. No carts to move your stuff with. We rented a "5x10" that was maybe 20 feet square. Random people doing personal construction work with roaring circular saws on site, terrible employees wouldn't even kick him out when that's against the rules. We were charged for a full month after moving out on the first of the month as stated in our contract. No offer to prorate even, so they got a full month out of us that we're not even using the unit. Good luck spending money we didn't have in the first place, public storage! read more

I am currently renting a unit a Public Storage unit in Los Angeles on Oxnard. I hit a snag when I rented a unit that was too small. With the help of a lovely worker named Liz I was able to rent a bigger unit in no time and was refunded immediately for the other storage unit I no longer needed. Liz was extremely helpful and continues to do her best to help me. I really appreciate her and the Public Storage. Thank you! read more

The customer service here is above excellent. Jose and his team do a great job. My unit was ready to go when I got there with the lock inside. And having the carts there made the biggest difference. We were able to unload the truck and transport it to the unit with ease Thanks Jose for your help! read more

I'm leaving my unit because the rent went up again! They hike up rent more than an LA landlord. It's the same bloody space with the same amenities, so why the raise? The location also needs flexible hours and a better system for entering the secured parking space. read more

Brie and the Public storage staff at this location could not be more helpful, kind, and cool! I had questions and issues today, which she promptly resolved, in addition to being extremely informed, easy going, and committed to helping ME. I was a bit dumbfounded, but grateful. I will never hesitate to recommend Brie and this location of public storage. What a great representative for the company! Give her a raise!!!! read more

Public Storage - OY!!! But it's being taken great care if!!!! - Self Storage Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I actually had an odd old issue with another Public Storage space (not the one at this location) but couldn't get to that office. I stopped by this location (Oxnard St/Van Nuys) to see if they could help and the staff were super professional and super friendly. Totally helped me out and solved my issue! I wish I knew the name of the guy who helped me as it took a while - I think it might have been Gerry? Alas sorry for not catching your name while we were talking! Garcia was another wonderful employee there. Everyone who came by seemed to be getting very friendly and solid professional service. Although I don't have a unit there, the building looked very clean and nice. read more

Booking the storage location was easy to do online and I appreciated how they contacted me to follow up on the reservation. I was not completely sure what size unit I needed so I made an appointment to come on and check it out. Garcia was super nice and she explained everything in an easy to follow manner. After meeting with her I was confident in my choice of unit and she was able to assist me in completing my reservation. The entire process was seamless and I would strongly recommend this location to anyone whom needs some extra space for their stuff. The prices are good, the facilities are clean, and the staff is attentive. read more

This place is poorly monitoring what goes on. One day I try to get into my bin and some guy had his stuff throughout the hall in my way. On several occasions there were people parking in a handicap spot, which I need to use. They were not permitted. Lastly, I tried to get a refund for one mattress cover charged on my credit card. They refused and said I needed the actual receipt. One more issue- when you give your drivers license in order to use a cart, they don't understand that they need to give you the one closest to the door in order to facilitate your getting it. That was #4 in the building I used, not the number one key. The number one cart is in the corner and hard to reach when the other carts are still in place. Why don't they know how this works best for customers? Don't they have cameras to see the customers who are disrupting your moves? They need to fix this!!!!!! And I don't like giving my license away, a money deposit would work better. Sorry for a long rant! read more

I just got a storage unit yesterday and feel very safe at this location and excited about my unit! The staff is super friendly, I got a call right away confirming my reservation (make a reservation online with them for better prices, it's very simple) they texted me all of the information I needed making it easy to find and contact them. Matt showed me my unit and I ended up going with a larger unit which was no problem, he showed me right away and got me in and out of there efficiently and with a calm demeanor - he was very kind and helpful! The building is brand new that my unit is in, it feels safe and secure and I love Public Storage already and have only had my unit for less than 24 hrs! read more

Got the total runaround which lasted 3-4 days when an advertised price wasn't what it appeared to be. A pure bait and switch situation and their general attitude toward my concerns were meh. That is when I could finally find someone to talk to. read more

This place is the worst. The hours are inconvenient, the hours only honors Public Storage staff hours, not ours. Open during normal business hours and when you're done work, they are closed, gates are locked, you will not have any opportunity to go in. They are not opened to your convenience. Which leads to only availability is for you to go on weekend along with hundreds of others who are dealing with same issue. Flatbeds are never there or available. Constant traffic and congestion. When you run out of time, 5pm on Sunday, they lock you out and too bad if you left your storage opened and the staff leave without checking if anyone is locked inside. Horrible. And they raised my rent increasing $50 to my already monthly payment and it hasn't been a year for me, Ending my services there. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!! read more

Bad location and service. Can't get anything done without speaking to a property manager. The app is next to useless.

Kim was great! She helped me get a place for storage. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you!

amazing location. showed up 2 minutes after closing and they still took care of us. big shout out to the management company and the employees. very sweet kind hearted people. best public storage experience ive ever had. would highly recommended. read more

Public Storage - 3 happy black people - Self Storage Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Public storage has a monopoly on storage that's for sure and they know it. You get a monthly rate at the start of your rental and then less than 3 months later it goes up by $15 and it continues to do that every few months. Of course they know you won't move you items out so they know they have you locked in. Their hours are also horrible at the van nuys location from 9-5:30 meaning you cant get there before or after work. They also have very few carts and when people are moving in they take them all leaving none for hours some time. I went to the front desk to ask for one and they just said sorry you'll have to wait for one as two moving trucks were in my area unloading. It is clean and well lit except the lights go off very quickly if no movement so it's hard to organizing units without feeling like you have to always walk back and forth. Hope to get out of storage units soon! read more

Go someplace else! This place has no concept of customer service. Looks like an accountant bean counter has been tasked with creating new policy at PS. The monthly rent went up shortly after I started renting there (three months or so?) and then one month later they significantly reduced the access hours. Ok, let's see... raise the price and then reduce access time to bankers hours. No access before 9:00 or 9:30 or after 6:00pm. That's makes it nearly impossible for anyone with normal working hours to get in or out of there... and effectively defeats the purpose of having a storage unit. It takes a lot of nerve to charge more and offer less but that's Public Storage for you. Lastly, the weekend I wanted to move out fell on Saturday the 2nd and Sunday the 3rd day of the month. They won't pro-rate the rent for a few days or even a week into the next month. I'm required to pay for a whole months rent even though I only need three days into that month. Come on guys, take a minute and put yourself in your customers shoes. Unless your goal is to drive customers out and do something else with the property you might want to reconsider your "new policies". It will have be some other customers shoes because I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

I initially went to the Tarzana location to get my first storage unit. Laura and Chris were very helpful and scheduled me to come to this location because I was storing heat sensitive items. Kimberly helped me get my storage unit here, showed me around and was overall helpful and friendly throughout the process. Thank you for making the process easy! :) read more

The company has very little respect for their customers or employees, only maximizing profit. They jacked up my rate $47 / month after 6 months (although I was able to extend that 3 months). I'd recommend Extra Space Storage instead - Lower prices and you can pay the original low rate in advance for 24 months. I wrote a letter to 4 different divisions of the company of Public Storage and no one ever responded. Nice storage place with very little integrity. They weren't terrible in the beginning - Good Luck! read more

worst storage company ever! give toy a big discount to get you in and raise your rent fee multiple times in 6 months. price doubled by the 6 months. biggest rip off! go find a private owned company!! I found one that doesnt raise the rent but once a year and only 3 % !! read more

Began writing my review in late 2018, just discovered the draft. I was shafted multiple times at this location. The end result was them not letting me in to get my stuff and close out my account because I was 12 days late on a payment, though the contract stated you were not allowed entry after 15 days late. They claimed, "We can't deny you entry to your storage space, but we can deny you access to our facility (where my storage space was)." Shady stuff happening there. I've never in my life been treated with such belligerence. Oh, and I never got all my stuff back. Nothing worth monetary value, only sentimental - unfortunately. read more

They have been really easy to work with! I just moved out after being here two years and all has been good. They keep the property very clean, the restroom here is always spotless and everyone I have encountered here has been very pleasant. A good place to store your STUFF! read more

I called to discuss the (uninformed) rent increases on my unit and was speaking with Liz, the Property Manager. She was beyond rude and said she would hang up the phone is I didn't like what she was saying. I will be canceling my unit due to her behavior. DO NOT RENT HERE read more

Lost my lock and they wouldn't let me break my own lock to get my stuff! Only options they gave me were either to wait 3 weeks for their locksmith to come and I would have to pay for an extra month or spend $120 to get my own locksmith. Terrible customer service and definitely would recommend a different storage company. After all the money I've spent their I will definitely not be returning. read more

They suddenly have jacked up the rent by almost 25%. No notice was given. No explanation of why or what happened. They also kept trying to stick me with their expensive insurance policy. I had to keep telling them that I didn't need it, that my home insurance covers it. Horrible and dishonest! The gate hours are also very short. I guess they don't want to be helpful by opening up earlier than 9:30 or staying later than 6. Those hours are not good for anyone who has a job read more

Awesome staff. The facility is clean and updated. Really nice. Dina helped me and she even let me see the unit first and answered all my questions. She was super nice and took the time even though they were about to close. Easy access as well, overall great location. Thanks again Dina! read more

Horrible. Do not do business with this company. I paid in full, closed my account and was still asked to pay money although I had confirmations of receipt payments. No customer service skills or care for customer. read more
