Her positive attitude and genuine care for customers truly stand out. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and attentive—she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We definitely need more people like Gabby!

I stopped by this location to look at a few options for storage units for a friend. some extra holiday decorations and summer items. Rachel was a huge help in the entire process as she showed me plenty of wonderful units and with all the info she gave me I feel safe knowing my stuff is stored at extra space.

Delightful customer service from the front desk manager Juda ?? I ordered a unit online super easy . I was stuck in traffic about 5mins away and the site was closing already in about 2mins to spare, we gave the office a call and let them know our situation with bay area traffic and he was understanding kind enough to let us know he will be able to assist us once we arrived and appreciated him going through the lease informing us of how the lock and gate security system works. Juda was very helpful and knowledgeable. 5 star ??!
