Had a really good experience within my two month time in the unit. The staff were really helpful for first timers and they sent out multiple emails reminding of the due date to pay for the unit.

I did not have trouble finding their pricing, easily displayed on their website & also it's on display at their front desk as well. The prices seem high to me, but I don't think it's Big Apple's problem I think it's more a Manhattan problem. The manager was extremely helpful & thorough with policies, and showed me the different spaces available and told me how much each cost. He helped me figure out which one worked best. There is a 5-day notice where you need to let them know 5 days prior to your last day or they will charge you another month, but that's better than my last place which required a 14-day notice, so I'm okay with that. They also don't prorate your last month, which I also think is pretty standard. Overall, I really like the space, seemed well taken care of & the manager was great. I will update if there are any issues. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Big Apple Mini Storage - 157 West 124th Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, 24 hour access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, 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!
