"Life storage was very helpful they allowed me to apply online which made it a lot easier. Fernando is the desk manager there he’s a lot of help. Ask for Fernando!"
"I love the style and vibe. I have two storage units at this facility and come here all the time to access my things. Always a low key, clean and organized."
"Been here for about a year. All my prized possessions live here. Nice people in the office, very secure and perfect location. Huge storage good price, comparable units elsewhere were more than TWICE as much ."
"The team at Life Storage is awesome. Andre and Jessica are a great team. Solved for what I needed, they got me a promo and set me up well all on a stressful day for me. Thank you!"
"Andre hooked it up at the last minute when I came in near end of the day. Great experience 👍👍. Every was smooth sailing and I'll definitely be sticking with life storage for a while."
"Stuff has been safe here for years. Still not sure why some people get 24hr access and others don’t. Lots of homeless always trying to get in 🤷🏽♂️but that’s DTLA i Guess"
"Excellent customer service and preferred rates for storage. “Free” 1st month w/additional lock fee and insurance in a climate controlled environment."
"I used this storage space from May to August and it was amazing. Not only was the storage unit perfectly sized but everything was super smooth. The staff and especially the manager Andre was so genuine and helpful.
I’ll definitely be coming here again."
"This storage facility is operated by some world class associates who have provided the best customer service I could have asked for.
They are always on time, keep the facilities clean and well maintained even being in the heart of LA. Amazing job!
The customer service was beyond what I could expect, always professional, and offering super friendly interactions.
The staff and facilities at this location is highly recommended"
"Andre and the team at Life Storage in DTLA provide absolutely exceptional service! I have never had such top tier customer care with any storage company until I came here. Andre needs a promotion with the level of service he provides each customer - seriously! I would continue to rent here solely because of the customer service he and his team provide."
"I've been renting storage space here for many years. I had a couple 15' units which i used for storage and a workshop. If you live in the downtown area, this location is very convenient. Its got a drive in loading dock for cars and trucks, which rare and makes loading/unloading very easy. They offer flatbed push carts and a pallet jack which is a plus. Security is pretty tight with a gated access and frequent patrols by management. I never had any issue with security or safety. The folks in management are always friendly and helpful, especially Andre, whose been a tremendous help with locating several units when i arrived and assisting me during my checkout. He knows his craft and doesn't BS you. I've had frequent shipments for my biz delivered to this location and Andre is always there to help arrange delivery into my unit. You can also get small parcels delivered to this location, which is an added benefit when you're expecting packages that require signature. Prices are reasonable, especially with all the amenities and ease of use of the facility. My overall experience was great, very smooth. If the need arose again, i would definitely return."
"For the past three years I’ve rented a place in this storage, price increased twice by 30% (each time) and once I got robbed and management didn’t agree to show me footage of their cameras. Stay away from this place"

"Love this place! Needed a storage for just a month while in between places. Not only did I get a month free (which came up to less than $50 after fees) but these guys here are great! I i love the extended hours so I never worry about access and they have dollies you can borrow in the office. That was SUPER cool because I didn't bring my own! The store manager Andre was super helpful and accommodating every step of the way! I lost the key to my lock and he helped me out with that super quick. I'll definitely be back here if I need a storage again thanks guys!"
"Was helped out over the weekend thru phone by a sweet girl named Jessica and was helped out in person by Fernando very cool dude who made my move in smooth and easy! Wish a fast recovery bro! Would highly recommend."
"Andre was awesome and so was his coworker I don't know her name but she drives a white Honda, both are very professional everything went fast and smooth thank you guys"
"Cody was absolutely wonderful. She helped organized a cross country move from my storage unit. I was able to send my keys to her to allow the movers to get my things without me having to be there physically. This was a huge help and I am eternally grateful. I would highly recommend their services."
"I had a great experience here! Andre helped me out and has wonderful customer service! He went above and beyond and was very accommodating to my needs."
"Andre was incredibly helpful! He helped me right away and honored my discounted special on my unit after I changed the reservation and lost it. He took time to show me the unit before I purchased it as well as other materials, like boxes and protective mattress slips if I needed. He was super friendly (not only to me, but all the other clients there), knowledgeable, thorough, helpful, and helped make the whole process a smooth and easy breeze! Great price! Great help! Any materials you need for moving are all there. Unit was spacious and exactly what I need. And place is clean. Andre runs this place amazingly. So happy I went to this LifeStorage location. Thank you Andre!"
"Wasn’t sure about this place with it being my first day back in California. Got a great online special and Fernando made me feel well and safe about storing my stuff here. He was also very patient as I kept getting in and out of calls. Great customer service. If you’re ever here ask for Fernando he’ll get you setup right."
"I was helped by a gentleman named Fernando who was very patient with me even though I asked a million questions and kept asking the same thing. Totally recommend this place and if you’re there ask for Fernando he will get you set up right."
"Andre and Jessica are the BEST! Andre set me up with ease and was even able to get me a special rate reduction. I had to go back and upgrade my space to a larger unit, which is where Jessica comes in. Just like Andre, she handled the situation with A+ customer service and had me in a new larger unit in a short amount of time. I highly recommend LIFE STORAGE on commercial for any storage needs. Ask for Andre or Jessica!"
"Highly recommend this storage to everyone..best staff very chill laid back environment they make you feel like your at home Andre will assist with any questions concerning your space And rules and I can't forget about Jessica she's a Delight"
"My items have been stored at the facility on Slauson and Avalon for almost 10 years and I have gone through several owners of that facility. I have been unhappy since life storage took over for several reasons. For one they are gouging the people in a community that is obviously suffering financially, continually raising the prices, causing many people to lose their personal and sentimental items, auctioning off things from people that have been there for years, while in the pandemic and people are off work they raised their prices AGAIN!!! I have gone several times to make a payment on days they were supposed to be open and found closed forcing me to pay online for which they NOW charge for. The facility used to be well kept, now it's always dirty. The employees that I have encountered are nice enough, however they seem to be understaffed; That's the fault of the ones sitting in the office's making these horrendousdecisions decisions."

"Uncaring- Sudden Rent Increase During the Pandemic
Insensitive and Uncaring during tough...
Insensitive and Uncaring during tough times
I called and no one was available to take my call. What is up with the sudden 10% rent Increase under 5 months and during the pandemic and while most people are struggling or unemployed?! While other businesses are being TRULY APPRECIATIVE of Customer Loyalty and are being CONSIDERATE with their customers' suffering during these tough times (by being forgiving towards rents, mortgage and other payments etc...) Life Storage has to be the opposite and show Thoughtlessness by twisting the knife another notch?! *** Very disappointed***. This is the Wrong Time to be so GREEDY!
I believe this Rent increase is due to RETALIATION for Reporting Traces of RAT DROPPINGS at their Teneya location Hallways Facility in LAS VEGAS, NV. This was reported to their main customer service a month ago and they are trying to DRIVE US AWAY WITH THE HIGH RENT INCREASE. Vermin /RAT PROBLEMS were brought up by many others giving a review of life storage! ( To see, visit Trustpilot.com)"
"Just moved some things into a space while we stage our home for sale. Andre and team couldn't have been more friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. This is a storage place with a staff that feels more like 5 star hotel concierge. Really amazing, unexpected and so appreciated!!"
"Very friendly even though I work in this area they will go out of their way to make sure that you're comfortable and that the prices are right big thumbs up"
"We're so thankful for Life Storage, Andre and the staff at this location. My wife and I utilized a couple of units for about 2 years for a startup business. Constant merchandise drop offs and deliveries. The loading dock was clutch! The staff was more than helpful. The place is organized and clean. Having community dollies and pallet jacks were appreciated too. Awesome to see it off the 101fwy... great memories! Thanks guys!"
"Im confident my belongings will safe & secure ! What friendly & knowledgeable staff even the tenants were eager to help !Great location 10s across the board ! Shoutout Andre ,Nora & Jessica =O<ý"

"The facilities are clean and organized. Customer service is amazing. The reason I give it a three is because it use to be 24 hour access. I use to be able to access this facility at 3am if I wanted to. They implemented more security measures which is awesome. My only issue is that management did not give anyone a warning that their 24 access would be suspended if you didnt have storage before 2016. I made a 50 mile trip only to be denied access. No email or letter. Seems highly unprofessional. Thats my only issue. Other than that, I have had no other complaints from this facility. Online pay is easy and customer service is very efficient."

"Trey was fantastic! The set-up/check in process for our reservation went smoothly. Love the facility and everything was explained to us in detail! Excited to be storing here!"
"Andre was awesome! I nearly didn't make it in on time, but he was waiting for me and welcomed me in with warm friendly smile.
The price for one of the larger spaces was great in comparison to the other storage places in the area.
When Andre took us up to see the space he made sure it was nice and clean by giving it a sweep over. He truly made us feel welcomed. Thank you so much Andre."
"Just moved in! Andre was so friendly, that for a moment there I forgot about the bad situation I was in and why I was having to move all my stuff into storage!
I nearly didn't make it in on time but he helped me out with a huge smile, and made me feel like it was going to be ok.
The storage space was a large sized one and the price was perfect! Andre made sure it was clean by giving it one last sweep! Thank you for making me feel welcomed."
"So i was gonna use public storage..Decieded to call both places for quotes,and enjoyed how the rep.sales department (Jessica) performed in customer service ,felt like she diserved the credit,and money well invested.5 stars for her."
"Great clean facility. In a convenient location here down town. Barbara was a huge help in helping me find the right space. I was just concerned having witnessed her have to roll up those large doors manually so more cars can fit in the parking area and that man that door was barely moving. Yall need to get that fixed. Besides that I highly recommend this location."
"Great clean facility. Would 100% recommend. I came in with my friend. The store manager there Barbara was a great help with answering all of our questions and concerns. They put in these doors on the property to make it more secure. Thanks again Barb."
"Andre is great! Got me the perfect sized unit in almost no time and with zero hassle. He was super helpful with any questions I had and anything I needed.
The facility is prime location, its kept clean and there are carts at your disposal for loading and unloading.
Highly recommend Life Storage, and if you can find and talk to Andre he will be a huge help."
"Life Storage, Livingston Avenue, North Brunswick Township, NJ
I dealt with other storage companies before but I found customer service here absolutely the best. John had shown us all the options and helped us with every step; he made the whole booking and move-in process a breeze. He helped us with the truck, with choosing the padlock, payment processing, etc. Outstanding service! Thank you John."
"Great facility, wonderful customer service, and also a great location. If you want great service come here they treat you like family. And the store manager Barbara Lopez . Thank you for making it so easy and fast for me to make a decision to decide to store with you. Im a Life Storage customer or LIFE!"
"I had an awesome experience. Staff was very lovely. I was late on my last months payment and was leaving a few days after the first. They waive my late fee and prorated for the time that I used it."
"Thank you Rebecca for being a nice=—=– wonderful person the prices were affordable the storage was always clean<â there was always parking space =—..When I arrive. Once again thank you so much Rebecca Happy New years =O<ÿ=O<ÿ=O<ÿ=O<ÿ PS I haven't forgot about you Jessica thank you as well ==="
"Associates were people with integrity and commitment to their job..., the facility is always clean and well maintained, and very well designed to fit the needs as a client. The facility has a great location within Downtown Los Angeles!, it turned out to be so much more than I would've imagined about such services. "
"I was in my unit since Magellan was running the building. Always had a great experience. Sent a lot of packages over the years r, and never had an issue. "
"It is a good place to store competitively priced but a little high in my opinion. Prior to your company changeover my unit occupied the current location where an elevator shaft was built. I was forced to relocate last minute with no assistance but I didn't consider that when rating you current company, I think only complaint is the price but even that is ok. "
"The 2 gentlemen ar very nice and care about us, one day one of the guys called to inform me that my unit was not properly locked, we went to check and sure enough it was not locked correctly,
thanks very much for checking the storage units, they are doing a good job!!!!"
"I don't go there very often but so far so good! I appreciate that i have not been prodded if the rent is a few days late. Storage prices are higher than they were in the late 90s, which should be no surprise i guess. :) Thanks for all your work."
"Good storage facilities are important for societies to function. Americans move around a lot. And having access to good storage facilities (like yours) makes moving much more efficient. I loved using yours.
