"First of all, I would like to say that Evette was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of her way to make sure that my storage needs were met. Her customer service skills were refreshing and she made the entire process of renting a storage locker easy and stress-free. The facility itself was clean, well-maintained, and secure, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my belongings are safe. Overall, I would highly recommend Evette at LifeStorage for anyone in need of a storage locker. Her professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service make her stand out from the rest. Thank you, Evette, for making the process so seamless and enjoyable!"

Rated 5.0 out of 5 stars Brian Bradley at Life Storage, Chicago, Illinois (#1112)

"Of the highest quality institutions, this storage facility is great. The staff is very friendly and their system for buying online is quite convenient because you don't have to check in (they have cameras and a tamper-proof seal with the heavy-duty lock and welcome bag inside). There's convenient parking that leads straight into the elevator, and the storage area closes at 9PM (and to get even get there you need an 8 digit code entered at two places). The prices are very reasonable, too; I'm renting a 10' x 10' for cheaper than I rented one in the west suburbs. The online portal makes it really easier to manage any administrative activity related to your unit(s) (including getting one), too. As the stars show, 5/5 from me."
