    Renting a storage unit at Extra Space Storage was a great experience! It was necessary to find a secure and easily accessible place to store my work truck. The facility is clean and well-maintained. The unit was exactly as advertised. Security measures, including surveillance cameras, secure access gates ensured belongings are protected. The exceptional customer service was a standout feature of this storage facility. The staff, especially Bianca is nice, friendly, and helpful in answering all questions and providing assistance. The location was also very convenient, with easy access. Overall, the experience with Extra Space Storage was great, and the facility is highly recommended for anyone in need of secure, clean, and well-managed storage ... Read more

He took the time to thoroughly explain all of my options, answer every question I had, and ensure I understood every detail before making a decision. What impressed me most was his professionalism, patience, and genuine willingness to help. He never made me feel rushed and went above and beyond to make sure I found the right storage solution for my needs. It is clear that Edwin takes great pride in his work and truly cares about providing customers with a positive experience.

    As me being a person who tried out to be one of those people to go out and clean out storage units for a company who offers opportunities to those interested in buying out left behind storage units, by winning with the highest bid offered by the time runs out . I have seen first hand how much the people who work at all the extra space storage locations that I have been to from Salinas, both places in gilroy in Forrest and Murray , the San Jose location , hollister, Watsonville, and Oakland location . At every single location I have been to everyone I have came across who works in the office have been great people!! The place is kept very clean and the locations are in very nice and their units are very safe to have your belongings kept at these facilities . Through the people I have talked to I have not heard any negative comments from any of their experiences from leaving the personal belongings in these units. They have 24:7 surveillance and they keep track of who goes in and who goes with very great cameras to keep your belongings safe! They really care for their customers and I will strongly recommend people to the extra space storage for their storage needs!! Great people and they even text you to see how things are going while working on unit and will work with out through your process and your timing thats works best on for you ! Thank you to the extra space storage facility on Forrest ave in Gilroy, ca for your awesome services!! Look foward to working with you in the future! ... Read more
