Read some helpful reviews of StoragePRO of Oakland-Franklin Street at 1205 Franklin Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I’ve been a customer for more than 2 years now. I compared rates from major chains and this location has the best rates. It’s family and women-owned location. All the staff are nice. I lost my key to the lock and I asked for their lock cutting service. It was less than $40! I was hoping for a big $70-$100 bill, but no. This place is amazing! My rent did not even go up for renting over 2 years. Other places would have doubled or tripled my rent! ... Read more

Really great place for a storage. Clean, accessible and staff always helpful. From the manager to the maintenance technician, I always felt supported. I’ve moved out now, but had to mention how from moving in to moving out and all in between was smooth sailings. ... Read more

Clean and very convenient storage location in downtown Oakland. Staff are friendly and helpful. Note: the access hours are currently 8:00am to 8:00pm which should be adjusted to allow earlier and later access. There were a couple of times I left work too late and couldn’t access my unit. That is my only suggestion for improvement. ... Read more

Updated review: Adrienne was super helpful, but I still have to give this business one star, because I was told that my storage unit would have lights, but there weren't any. Not like a lightbulb burned out, the entire 10' x 25" basement unit wasn't even wired for lights, bare cement walls, pitch black. I injured myself pretty good trying to load my stuff in the dark, my cell phone light didn't cut it. Bring a flashligh, or better yet rent from a place with lights. ... Read more

The storage units are good, location was great for me, but the staff is amazing. Warm, friendly, and helpful. Everyone who worked there, every time I came in, I was greeted with smile and a kind comment or light joke. When I was done, the process was so simple. I sent one email and when I had vacated they noticed and thanked me for being a customer. Very impressed with them overall and this location, in particular. ... Read more

Chio is the best manager and the most customer friendly storage agent I have ever dealt with. She’s smart, she cares, she cuts through red tape. All my experiences at Franklin Street with her have been excellent. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that StoragePRO of Oakland-Franklin Street - 1205 Franklin Street has to offer. These amenities include Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Credit Cards Accepted, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
