Organizing my small LES apartment and realized I have soooo much stuff I want to go through, keep, throw out etc. figured moving stuff to storage and outta my way would be a great start to decluttering. The 2nd Avenue location is very close to home and Vanessa helped get my rental processed very quickly. Excited to get my life in order!! ... Read more

Just rented a storage unit but not moving in until next month. Emily helped me with the process. She explained the different charges like insurance & processing fee (if you are paying with a credit card). Appreciate the clarity so there will be no surprises. Hoping for a smooth move in process next month. ... Read more

Arrived at 7:50 to store a few items and open new storage unit. I understand the store closes at 8pm. For some reason it took Michael, the front desk worker, ten minutes to fill out the form for me to start a new storage unit. By the time he was finished typing my information, he asked for payment. Because I’ve been traveling a lot, My card had a fraud alert so it declined the first time. He proceeded to then tell me because it was now 8:01 pm, he could not let me into the storage unit and that I had to leave the property. Why does it take 11 minutes to type in a name, address and phone number to open a storage unit? If Michael knew that the facility closes at 8:00pm and that he is not able to get into the storage facility doors after 8:00pm, why wouldn’t he have: A) communicated that rule with me at the beginning of the transaction; B) worked faster so that we could secure the unit before the cut-off time; C) simply said, before starting the ten minute waste of time transaction, “hey this will take a while and we only have ten minutes, it’s best if you come back tomorrow.” Rather than doing any of these things, time was wasted with pointless, slow data entry leaving me no other choice than to go elsewhere. ...

The Manhattan Mini Storage facility is clean, bright, modern, and convenient. It is easy to access and operates 7 days a week from 8AM to 8PM. They have units ranging from $140/mo to $1000+. Vanessa at the front desk is able to provide a quick tour and overview of the lease signing, which is available month-to-month. ... Read more

Great customer service. Vanessa was approachable and answered all of our questions. She was most helpful in facilitating the process of moving in and out of our storage space. Vanessa is an asset to the company. ... Read more

Security is a farce. I have heard of thefts in the building, and the locks are weak. Cameras do not function correctly. I had the constant feeling that my possessions were in danger. I would not put anything of value in this place. ... Read more
Kacie R. - 4 April 2025
Everyone I interacted with in person was patient, kind and knowledgeable. I have used a lot of storage companies over the years, this was by far the easiest, most cost effective way for me to store mostly clothes, shoes, books, yoga mat, camping tent and prized goods taking up space in a studio quickly and efficiently. I completed the shift using lyfts (rideshare) and a dolly and although not ideal, I was proud of mySelf and grateful for the support of the laborers at the east village Manhattan mini storage. Thank you. ... Read more

28 2nd ave. I just got off a plane at JFK, I come in to the storage office and immediately I meet the most important person since Joe Biden. She’s probably a wonderful woman and maybe was quite busy. Hopefully the owner doesn’t know how discourteous the office woman is to potential customers. All the same, all the best. Negative stars and I am not being mean, just a reflection of the customer service which apparently did not value my business. God bless you. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Manhattan Mini Storage - 28 2nd Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, 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!
