"I thought I may have forgot to lock my locker one day , I called the store manager James at the facility and he offered to go and check it and make sure it was secured , I was very grateful for this gesture as I was so far away by the time I realized . It saved me time and money ."
"We have been using Life Storage for several years now, at the Meeting St. location in Charleston, SC. I honestly don't have words to say what an outstanding experience we have had. First, the man who works at the front desk, James, is absolutely AMAZING! He is always extremely polite, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. I actually look forward to my visits to this store because I know that I will see James! The Life Storage company is truly blessed to have an employee who is #1 in every sense of the word. Regarding the building itself, it is always impeccably clean with good lighting and easy access to our unit. We checked out several other storage facilities until we found this place, and I can say without a doubt: it doesn't get any better than this."
"This place is awesome! I'm going through a difficult time right now and the gentleman who helped me at the office was a God send. Informative and courteous!! It was an easy task for a day that I had alot going on. Thanks!!!!!"
"This is a great storage facility. The staff is knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. The facility has a van you can rent free of charge when you move in, and it's a life saver. There was no hassle in renting or returning the van. You can also use it when you move out for a minimal fee. This is the first storage unit I've used with access to a moving van, and I'm a convert for life."
"Great experience at Life Storage. I have had 2 units here and James the manager goes above and beyond to take care of his customers and help out in any way possible."
"James is the best! He called me right after I had reserved my storage unit in case I had any questions. He helped me to reserve my storage unit for longer so that I could spend more time at home. He was great :) Thanks James!"
"The Life Storage experience was excellent in every way. James, the manager, covered every base and explained each option that came up. Documentation was thorough with all details clearly recorded. Special situations like the lock and the subject of insurance coverage were clearly presented.
I would recommend Life Storage 475 to anyone needing a storage solution.

"Life Storage on Meeting St is the best. I've rented storage units all over the country from national chains and smaller local facilities. I rent from Life Storage on Meeting St because the manager (James) is excellent and the facility is clean, safe, and professional. You won't regret your time nor money spent here."
"Young lady at the front in the office Kaila she was very helpful young lady. Great attitude and nice service. My neice Brittany adores her as well. Thinking of storing here in future."
"James the mgr is a wonderful uncomplicated staff. He makes the process of moving a smooth transition. Thank u Mr. James Bishop for the last 3 years of nothing but good service."
"James and other staff members are so helpful. James spoke with me numerous times to get me the units that I needed. The facility is very clean and there was amp,e parking for our truck. I highly recommend them!"
"Facility is always clean, staff is always available when I need assistance and never a hassle to get in/out!
I am editing this review because James went above and beyond the day I moved out of my storage unit. What turned in to a stressful situation, James helped me out with his problem solving skills and saved the day. I wouldn’t even call this customer service. His kindness and willingness to help someone is beyond. Thank you, James!"
"James is great, but I went today to retrieve my son's belongings from our unit after a year-and-half and found several missing items, including a monitor and printer. Can't make a claim because I can't prove to the insurance company those things were there. I didn't take a picture of the filled unit before I shut the door. Remember to create an inventory of everything and take pictures!"
"Life Storage is great! It was a very quick process getting into the storage space, James made it very easy. Would recommend for anyone, especially Cofc college students since it’s so close to campus."
"It's convenient to downtown, and it's 24 hour access - but the bathroom is permanently out of order, and there is always evidence of rats or bedbugs."
