"I feel safe when on the property alone. The lady in the front office is always sweet nice and very helpful when there is a problem. The only problem we had was trying to use the app to pay the rent. We would go to the office and be out in about ten minutes. I already recommended Life storage to a lot of people."

"Highly recommend!  I'm out of state and needed a storage unit for my UF son.  A friend uses this storage facility and we were impressed with how clean and high-tech it is (the gate opens with an app and the building and unit are accessed with an app).  So we booked a unit and could do everything online.  I didn't have to have my son take an Uber to the facility to purchase a physical lock to place on the unit, it's all done electronically.  So easy and convenient, especially for out-of-state parents.  I also spoke to the lady there who was professional and friendly and answered all my questions.  The rates were also really good - the lowest rates I found among the places that were recommended to me.  Thank you Life Storage!"
