    Finally, I found a non-corporate yet clean and safe storage facility in SF.   After wasting the morning going to three other overpriced dumps, I yelped my way over here.  I wish I had come here first.  Everyone on staff is helpful, pleasant, and professional.  Most units are drive-up, tall, and convenient.

    Happened to pass by and thought I'd check it out.  Josue was AWESOME.  Nicest guy, helped us out right away, easy set up.  Way cheaper and much better run than my last storage place.  I'm happy as a clam now that I have a secure, reliable, and affordable place to store my extra gear.

    Two thumbs up!

    Hooray! You've reached the end of your search for storage in the city. These guys are so wonderful!

    - Flexible, friendly, helpful staff
    - Clean, well lit, extra tall units
    - Easy, drive-up access

    I've had several units with Army St. over the years. They've cut me deals to beat competitor's prices. They've been flexible and willing to switch me to a larger unit when I did a terrible job of estimating how much storage space I would need. They have never charged me for un-used time in a space when I've emptied out a unit with no prior notice. I could go on and on...

    Their staff is totally helpful, understanding and flexible- always making sure that the customer gets the most for their money. There's no question- this place is the best!

    Pricing: fantastic
    Location: ideal
    Facility: clean, secure

    Kyle at Army Street Mini Storage was wonderful to work with.

    At one point I had to work with Uhaul. As I'm sure any of you who have used Uhaul in the past know, it is like a circus down there. Dirty and unsafe area, hecklers begging to help you move, and attitude at the checkout counters.

    Not so at Army Street Storage. It's a small "Mom and Pop" sort of get up and that makes all the difference.

    Customer service is the name of the game.

    And I, for one, rather like the fact that you can't access the place 24/7.

    It means the place is more secure and you don't have people loitering around the storage units at 3 in the morning.

    Peace of mind.

    (but don't take your chances, get some renter's insurance! It extends to your storage unit too!)

    Have rented trucks from them as well as storage lockers.  

    Huge, clean facility.  Easily accessible with convenient hours.

    Amazing customer service, Kyle is kind, helpful, understanding and will bend over backwards to make sure you get whatever you need.  All the staff there has been friendly and attentive.

    Still renting and still smiling.

    They have special deals and they turned me on to Killian - a fantastic mover who got me in and out in across town under two hours and charged me $150. I'm going to use him and this storage company again soon. killian100@gmail.com Very satisfied customer here.

    This is the second time I have come back to use this storage place.  The first time, about 4 years ago, was great, they were so friendly and helpful.  I actually searched around at other places  (hated other places with freaky managers), but came back here because the manager was so nice.   I was happy with the price, the time it took to get it all rented, the condition of the place...spotless!  Never thought I would write a yelp review of a storage place, but they deserve the stars...

    Okay, I confess that I have way too much stuff, and that I move way too often.  I have therefore become an expert on mini storage facilities far and wide.

        *Army St Mini Storage is by far the best run mini stg I've ever seen.*

    No, they aren't paying me and I'm not related to them -- I just closed out my unit after 5 years there.  The facility is clean.  The staff is pleasant but very focussed on what they do; you won't stand at the counter for 10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge your existence.  The rates are fair.  The billing is straightforward.  I had a small refund coming to me at the end, and the check was in my mailbox within a few days.  What more to ask?  Oh, yeah, they also rent trucks and sell boxes, I think, but I didn't use those services.

    At one time, I had TWO units there, until I got rid of enough stuff to narrow down to one.  One of the units I had was the 'direct access' like in the photos -- makes life easy.  The other one was inside one of the buildings (all ground floor) but down a little hallway to an individually locked unit.  I had been told that the 'hallway units' were less dusty than the 'direct access' ones, and that is very true.  If you have bulky stuff (furniture) that would be hard to maneuver around corners, then the 'direct access' is for you -- I'd recommend drop cloths or some sort of dust cover, because like any garage, the wind blows in an incredible amount of dirt over time.

    The unit walls do not go all the way to the ceiling, I don't believe ... so if there were vermin, they could get in anywhere ... but I didn't see any evidence of that.  Ever.  

    The online directions to the site are a little confusing.  You don't have to take the freeway -- take Cesar Chavez/Army Street going east, and just after you go under the 280 freeway, go left on Indiana Street.  The mini stg is down a half block on the left.  When you leave, you have to turn left onto Indiana, then two more lefts will get you onto the 280 or back to Cesar Chavez.

    I can't say enough good things about this place -- I'd definitely stash my extras there again.

    Easy access, clean, well-run facility.
    Really nice friendly folks on staff -and they have trucks.
    But the best is being able to drive up to the unit - even the smaller interior ones are close to an entrance. No carts and dollies, no elevators and hauling deep into a warehouse.
    Good deal all around.

    I thought I would need a storage place for only a month, six months later I am still there.  The staff has been great by setting me up on an automatic payment plan and the hours of operation are great when I just need to come in for a short period on the weekends.  The place always is neat and clean and all of the guys in the office are very friendly.  Thanks for the help and I am glad that the drive up units save me so much time.
