Definitely would recommend this location to anyone if they need it. He really made the experience easy and gave me some reassurance"

From the friendly staff on the phone to the manager David who went above and beyond to ensure our transition from our current storage unit went smooth.

"Life Storage came through for me on a day when everything was going wrong. David Martinez helped me and he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with the storage space, facility, and the terms of the agreement. Service is exceptional, the storage grounds are kept clean, and safe. I am so grateful for Mr. Martinez, who even stayed a few minutes after closing to make sure I was taken care of. Life Storage keeps Life going!"

"I’ve been to a lot of storages this one seems to be one of the best. The price was good, bathroom near my unit, and there was a guy named David working at the front who goes above and beyond to help me and the others out."
"Quick, easy, and extremely helpful staff. Julio helped me out and was super nice and helpful. Clean units and they were flexible when I needed stuff to change."
"David was incredibly attentive. He answered all my questions and helped secure two additional spaces for us. David even postponed his lunch break until after he had satisfied us. Thank you David Martinez! Keep up the good work."
"I had to rent a 2nd storage unit and thought to move out to another Storage company. I decided to stay without hesitation after working with Jocelyn D. I had an amazing and best customer service experience. She genuinely cares and goes out of her way to help with any questions that I had before finalizing my options. Jocelyn is patient and works in a professional manner, that made my life easier!
I am a very satisfied customer and will keep my business with the LifeStorage at Murphy Ave in Irvine CA.
Thank you Jocelyn! You are truly a wonderful and valuable employee!!"
"I would like to give Dan (Dan the Man!!) LOL, a shout out and well deserved praise.
He is one of the reasons I stay at this location. He went above and beyond customer service to fix an issue, solve a problem, and make you feel extremely valued. I left another storage facility to move my business storage to this location in Irvine BECAUSE of Dan.
The storage facility itself is always clean and well-maintained. The security is great compared to other places. Dan does a beautiful job training new staff who are just as friendly. I cannot say enough good about Dan as he is an absolute pleasure to work with and the storage facility location is great."
"Friendly, communicative, helpful! Clean spaces !! Dan was great and answered all my questions. Upfront about prices and expectations. No hidden costs. He was very thorough in explaining everything and showing me around. Thank you and can't wait to get organized!!"
"From the first woman I talked to on the phone to inquire with questions to Dan and the team who helped me in person the several times I stopped by my unit, would recommend this clean and safe storage place to anyone in OC."
"I rented a unit from Dan he went above and beyond to help me out. Dan has superior customer service the property was well maintained and the unit was clean."
"Dan is the really the man! We love having our units at this facility and Dan makes the experience all worth while. Each time we are greeted with kindness and exceptional support from him. This is a wonderful facility."
"I LOVE this place DAN is so wonderful and helpful HE MADE EVERYTHING SO EASY. I apprecite that it is so clean and nice. We left another storage place it was a mess trash everywhere and dirty I would recommend Life Storage Irvine to anyone. Thank you Dan for all your help."
"Where do I begin. Dan at Life Storage far exceeds any standard. He is knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. His attentiveness does not go unnoticed. The property is a direct reflection of how meticulous he is. Thank you Dan for making my experience at Life Storage exceptional."
"Walked in and was greeted by Dan the manager. Great customer service and was definitely helpful with what type of space I was looking for. Gave me a full tour of the location. I highly recommend it bc of the hours."
"Had a very good experience with Dan. I needed a unit pretty quickly and I was taken care of with no issues. Clean, Tidy, and efficient. Thank you so much for everything ♥️"
"Fantastic facility! Clean, in a nice area, well lit, and Dan at the front desk is very helpful. I needed a storage that could accept Amazon deliveries for me. Dan has been a lifesaver in delivering my packages to my storage unit and providing excellent customer service. Highly recommend!"
"This is a thank you review for the Irvine Life Storage Store Manager, Dan. My own Life Storage Facility in Costa Mesa is having a hard time taking care of their customer service needs, following up with clients and even simply answering phones... Dan took it upon himself to call me and let me know my account was defaulting due to technical issues with autopay. He got me all paid up, no late fees and gave me peace of mind. Really nice man. Thank you for being solutionary!! Life Storage Costa Mesa Pullman needs a Dan."
"Have to say, this was a pretty painless experience. LifeStorage was a huge lifesaver when I had to move out of my apt right at the beginning of COVID WHILE being out-of-state. Dan the store manager was a HUGE help, even though I was such a problem child. I had to authorize my roommate to help move my stuff in, then had to authorize my coworker to help move my stuff out & ship. Had to also cut the lock since I mistakenly mailed the keys via USPS, so obviously it disappeared into the ether. Would definitely recommend!"
"Fantastic facility! Clean, in a nice area, well lit, and Dan at the front desk is very helpful. I needed a storage that could accept Amazon deliveries for me. Dan has been a lifesaver in delivering my packages to my storage unit. The Highly recommend!"
"We stored my younger brothers things at this location. He passed 12.29.19 and I went to go through his things. Dan was awesome, understanding and very helpful helping me get in contact with the right people to get what I needed done, done! I will forever be grateful for all his help. This place has 700 secure units all under camera with secure locks. This place was clean and secure and if necessary I would use again. I highly recommend. :)"
"I would like to say how satisfied and glad that I came to Life Storage! It's very clean and feels secure access. Dan was A+mazing, helpful, understanding for my storage needs. He took the time to explain and very efficient to cover all my questions.
I had been checking around many storage places in this area so choosing Life Storage was a great choice and highly recommend them to everyone!
Thank you again Dan for your kind help!!
MJM"
"Dan is the manager in this location and he went above and beyond to help me find the correct unit for my things. He's super polite and patient the whole time and I can tell that he takes this job seriously by giving me a follow up call after my visit and providing detailed information about how he keeps the place sanitized and clean. Definitely a 5 star experience!!"
"Great small unit, super easy rental process, convenient access. Dan was easy to work with and made the process fast. Will fit my needs perfectly to store extra household stuff!"
"This place is always so clean and quiet. I think Dan is the manager and he is a gem. He makes things easy and is accommodating. He's always around, is accessible, and goes above and beyond for the customer. Keep it up Dan!!!"
"The facilities were great, always kept up well and safe environment. Dan was always helpful and quick to reply to any questions.
Only downside of this company is the pricing. The first year was fine, after that due to "market demand" the price would increase often. One of the downsides to month to month, but it started and ended at very different prices."
"We have maintained a storage bin at Life Storage on Murphy Street in Irvine for 4 years. Our interactions with staff have been limited as all administrative tasks have been performed well and the site is always clean with mechanical equipment working well. We recently needed some help with a task, and Dan was extremely helpful. It is a true pleasure to work with a management team that cares so much about the level of service provided to its customers. Service from the landlord may not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering a self storage facility, but this enterprise goes well beyond the minimums to keep its clients happy."
"As a home stager, I often need temporary storage for my furniture and accessories prior to an installation. Life Storage in Irvine is always my "go to" place. Dan is wonderful, and the facility is clean and well lit. I've used them several times and will continue to do so as the need arises."
"After being on the waiting list for a month, Dan called me and let me know the Storage I needed available. He was so nice to hold it! Gave me a tour and was so knowledgeable and nice! Thank you Dan!"
"The facility is clean and the United are fine, but my unit on the 4th floor was broken into twice. The Irvine PD told me they have had about a dozen break-ins here recently and the thieves know the codes to get in the building and how to pick the locks. I moved to another facility with limited building access and alarms on each units door. If you have to store anything of value, go somewhere else."
"Dan see , the store manager was very helpful.
Showed me units that fits my needs. Very resourceful I would definitely recommend renting at this storage. Affordable clean & well kept . I feel extremely safe leaving my valuables here at life storage ."
"Life storage is great and very convenient space for me in Irvine! With the help of Dan, even under the covid-19 crisis time, the store manager is great! I am so glad to get the right size storage space for my stuffs and very good price. He is very helpful and nice. I would recommend this storage to everyone especially the residents in those luxury apartment nearby as Fusion Apartments. Thanks.
Daniel P."
"I recommend Life Storeage. Dan was helpful, nice, prompt in responding to my email reservation and friendly upon arrival. My gps stoped working and his call to me was perfect timing and he guided me to the parking lot. He explained everything in detail. Excellent professional service and care."
"Life Storage is a great dollar value. We have two large units for our non-profit. We are contiunally impressed with the service and attention to detail by the general manager "Dan the Man."
During the Pandemic we have observed Dan with his 'protective mask and gloves' cleaning random rollup doors on storage units, elevators, and other public areas affected with germs.
Sincerely,
Children Giving Gifts"
"Joan was SO extremely helpful in getting us moved in last night after hours. We had so much stuff from our move that we needed a storage space and even though she was at home off her workday she helped us get our items secured safely in a unit! Her communication and kindness in the midst of our frantic move was extremely refreshing"
"Nice and secure facility. Had no issues. The elevator is very slow and the community push carts are locked up but other than that the place is great!"
"I was a customer of Life Storage in Irvine, CA, for many years. I no longer need a storage unit and recently moved out. I was a very happy customer. The facility and grounds were always clean, and the temperature in the unit was always comfortable, no matter if it was hot or cold, outside. I always felt safe. Staff was always helpful. I highly recommend Life Storage on Murphy in Irvine to anyone needing a storage unit."
"Clean, competitive pricing, great access hours, nice people and better than average policies.
Minus one star for the single bathroom on-site that closes at 5pm."
"New management, extended hours. Parking is limited but haven't experienced a problem because of that. Gated access with keypad entry, automated exit. Different sized units on offer."
"My experience with Life Storge has been absolutely incredible. I have interacted with two of the staff but Barbara has been the main employee I have worked with. She is very kind and was extremely patient when my aunt and I when we couldn't decide what size of storage we wanted. She suggested we started with the larger size and then downgrade if need be... and our stuff fit perfectly! The facility was very clean and it was a big help that they had carts available to transport our supplies. Thank you for making this an amazing experience!!!"
"We received outstanding service from Barbara, who was very helpful, professional and patient with us while we were deciding on the unit size we need. She was so positive as she showed us the various units. Barbara even offered us water as it was a very hot day! The community is very clean and peaceful. Barbara is a great asset for Life Storage, and we look forward to seeing her when we are at our unit. She has exemplary leadership qualities and would make a fine property Manager."
"Love this place - they have these packing kits with different sized boxes & a roll of tape in a giant bag. You don't have to guess how many of the different sized boxes you'll need. Of course you can buy individual boxes of any size but since I've been packing, I just keep buying the kits. I like the convenience of walking in, paying & walking out with everything pre-packed. Makes it easy to carry to the car & into your house."
"Barbara in the office is amazing!!!! She called right after I inquired online. She is very personable and understanding. I had a little hick up on move in day but she was extremely apologetic and caring and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. The area is well lit, secure, safe and best of all litterly across the street from where I live. Thank you Barbara you are the best!!!"
"Super friendly staff! Barbara was amazing and very helpful! Very clean and easy to navigate facility (: Will definitely be coming here for future storage needs!"
"They all act like nice people from the outside but they cheat and lie.
I received a price online, signed up and entered my information and chose a move in date. I was called by one of their staff to confirm and we set a date. We were looking for temperature and humidity controlled storage so we chose this location.
SIDENOTE: The temperature does not really feel controlled. In fact, it feels hot and humid in there but I did not have any way of measuring it...
When I came in it turned out that the unit I had been "assigned" wasn't really the dimensions advertised since it was close to the elevators and had a chunk of space taken up by this. It was more like a long hallway. I obviously told them that would not fit the couches and bed I needed to store so I was shown a different one.
Conveniently, this was priced higher and I didn't get the online discount since I was signing up on premise... I told her that was not ok so she proceeded to make some adjustments in the computer and said I'd get that discount but the unit was still more expensive. I agreed. Reluctantly.
I also bought packing material and a lock.
Then she asked me to sign a contract on the computer. There was one screen facing the clients which was off except when you had to sign on a signature pad. So she got to the first part, name, address, etc. Asked me to check it and then sign. I did.
Then she just started verbally explaining the contract but without me seeing it since the screen was turned off again... at different point she said that i needed to sign but the only thing visible in the screen was the signature block and the bottom of each paragraph. On and on this went.
Whenever I asked her she said I'd get a copy as soon as the signatures were made. She said that's how the system works but that I could come around and read on her screen if I wanted. Anyway, she said, once you get the copy emailed, we can adjust anything.
So we finished. And I got the copy emailed. And it turns out that I did not get the discount that I was supposed to get. So I asked her to change it... turns out she can't do it here so she needed to call someone in corporate and they were out to lunch...? So she said she'd email them and get back to me with the corrections.
That was more than a week ago. It hasn't happened.
So I came in today, removed my lock and took the few things I had stored out.
On my way out, I stopped by the office to let the clerk know and asked to be refunded at least partially what I had already been charged.
Unsurprisingly, he said he had no authority to do that, and he had to contact corporate. But that her email the right away and let me know.
I'm not holding my breath for that one...
PS. I also told them on my way out the first day that the fluorescent lamp in the unit was not working. She said they'd change it right away since I had given them permission to access the unit. That also, still hasn't been replaced two weeks later."

"This place is terrible. All units measure significantly less than specified. No bathroom after hours. Carts are locked up so you can't use them. When elevators break they are down for days. Prices rise rapidly. Avoid."
"Rented a unit for a few months to store furniture while opening up an office nearby. Barbara was very helpful with setting me up with a unit and accepting deliveries. 5 stars!"
"I needed a small 5 x 10 unit & Barbara Broderick at the Murphy Avenue storage location did a fabulous to find me a perfect unit for my needs. The process was easy & she went way beyond the necessaries of service to help. I have a back problem & she was careful to work around my use of my walker to minimize my walking to & from my car. She was just great. I hope I see her again when I visit the site. 5 Stars to both her & the site - it was clean & very convenient. I will recommend Life Storage to anyone who asks me for a referral - all because of Barbara. Thank you. Terry A. Worsdell."
"This facility is awesome!
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly their rates are fair and the units are clean, well lit , and have easy access.
I highly recommend this facility!"
"This is my first time using a storage unit to hold my belongings while being in-between homes. I wasn't sure what to expect but Life Storage and customer service provided by Barbara has been great! The cost of a climate-controlled unit for the size I desired is lower than I expected, and the whole process of signing up was quick and easeful. I also like that this facility is in a quiet location with plenty of parking and convenient in-and-out access. Thank you, Life Storage!"
"CANT USE PODS??? BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU RENT
I loved this place but gave no thought to they wouldn't allow me to move my stuff using PODeven though there are probably 14 empty parking stops every time I go there and they don't even want to make money to rent the spot.. and they are a public company? I can pay an extra month rent in exchange.. they never told me there were restrictions on using the parking spots [for a PODs]. I have another storage unit with you still for years and years now, maybe I should move out of that. You know good managers know how to operate in a public company so I asked to talk to an RM or VP and expect someone to call and make good on a reasonable request to use PODs and park it for a couple of days in the back where it takes up a single parking spot.. it's not competition and would be happy to tarp it, it's about customer service. I hope to post a happy result... and the response is how you know if a company cares.
Update: after only 180 days of signing up with them they raised my rate to retaliate against this review. I got read the riot act saying how it hurts the people who work there to post this review. Very nasty and I was so uncomfortable. How can you trust these people if you tell them you have a problem and they retaliate against you by increasing your monthly rent. Wow, I didn't expect that kind of behavior from a public company."

"This place was great. The customer service was amazing. They patient listened to my questions, walked me through everything and showed my everything needed. The prices are also reasonable."
"Have used them for a few months now. The people are great. Mike is very helpful, accomdating and answers all of our concerns. The facility is neat and clean. Its a newer facility. You have access til 11pm. Their prices are fair. There's parking in the back. They accept Amex and have an air conditioned section. Highly recommended."
"The office staff was very organized. Facility was clean and easy to navigate. I like that they have carts to use free of cost. I was surprised that insurance is an additional $12/ month so keep that in mind to add on to the rental cost. I got 50% off the second month and also signed up for auto pay. I got the 5' by 10' and it's plenty of space for all my storage."
"Life Storage is a great place to do business it's clean, convenient , and organized. I'm quite pleased with the service I received from the staff in particular Reuben he helped me make the transaction very easy. I recommended if you are neat Freak Like Me."
"This place isn't that bad despite the air conditioner always being broken and the barrage of mosquitoes that seem to infest the building all year long. After renting from this place for over two years I closed my account because according to the letter I received "storage rates in the area were going up with an increased demand." So I went somewhere else and saved over $50"
"anthony and mike are the greatest, even when they are busy they treat me with friendly bend over backwards courtesy even when i could be a needy pain in the butt. with my husbands job, it seems i have been in storage my whole life and recall some grrrrr.. moments with other places. all about greed and them, instead of me, the customer. i especially think the option to pro rate the month if you need a few extra days instead of a whole month is also kind and generous on your part. thank you.
denise"
"Employee was very helpful in getting me into the best unit for ME! Simple process overall with palerwork and sign up for monthly payment process. Facility is
