A-1 Self Storage

Great location, and super fast check-​in service. Very friendly employees, the facilities are very clean and seem very safe, access to our unit is very easy. No complaints!

Isaac was very friendly and reassuring. This was my first storage rental and he walked me through the details of use of the space and billing. He also looked up units at other locations to ensure I was getting the best deal in the location that worked best for me.

As my wife and I work to decide on a long-​term plan for some of our belongings, we opted to rent a unit for the interim while we make the most out of our 1BD apartment (and the lack of closets) in the Downtown area. From the first interaction I had with the A1 representative, I couldn’t help but notice how easy and accommodating they strive to be as a company. These guys are extremely helpful and courteous… I would honestly give a 6 star rating if Unilocal allowed. Within an hour, I was signed up and had moved most of our items into the unit we selected. I also notice that they store cars as well, and would recommend both services to anyone interested in either a short or long-​term arrangement.

My experiences with this A1 storage location have been excellent. The staff is outstanding – extremely friendly, helpful and kind! The storage units are clean and easily accessible at all times of the day and night. I highly recommend this location!

Clean and convenient location. Outstanding staff. Isaac and Edson are always very helpful and just super nice people. They make A-​1 Self Storage look good.

Cannot speak highly enough of this storage company. All of the employees are super friendly and helpful. They were behind the counter with a smile every time I went in. They have great prices on their units and often running specials so don’t forget to ask. The units are super clean and very secure. Ask for Issac, he went above and beyond for me!!! If I am ever in need of storage again I will use A1 even if is not the cheapest or most convienant option.

Great company — super helpful staff and clean/​secure facilities. Small parking lot, but I managed to get a moving truck in there without too much difficulty. I’ve rented units with them twice now, and each time was a breeze. I recently rented a new apartment and so needed to move out my things, and they made it effortless to close out my unit. There was none of that «well, you need the unit for the first 2 days of this month, so we have to charge you for that entire month» crud — A1 cancelled my automatic bill payments, and prorated the costs (just for those two days) without me needing to ask/​beg. All in all, I highly recommend them.

Clean units with friendly and helpful staff. Isaac was especially helpful and made my storage experience great.

I’ve been totally overwhelmed trying to get
Moved and find storage, pack, etc and OMG if I had known Matt (the guy at the storage place) was going to be so efficient, kind, patient, thorough, etc etc, I would’ve moved my stuff in here even earlier!!! He took so much stress off of my plate, for the first time since I’ve been worried about
Moving everything, I feel like I can actually have A good nights sleep. A1 storage– your facility is great & so was Matt :) thank u!

Excellent customer service! Matt Rose was extremely helpful and patient while I was trying to decide on what size unit to use. He helped me get through the paper work quickly and made sure all my questions were answered and that I had the best price possible.

Love this place, moving is never easy but these guys make it a lot less stressful. This my third time using this location and it’s great. Always super clean and never too busy. I would highly recommend this place of you’re looking for a clean place for your valued stuff! Each unit is individually alarmed to too it off.

There are a few A-​1 locations in San Diego county and I am very happy I chose this one. Highly recommended. When my business expanded and I needed a little extra storage I reached out to a few storage facilities but didn’t quite get the personal touch from the other as I did here. Ken and Steve are very professional, helpful and made me feel very safe in person and with my belongings. They will even accept a package from time to time if I am out of town for business (which is quite often).
Thank you A-​1, Thank you Steve and Ken!
Great experience all around.

A-​1 Self Storage in Midtown is great. Steve offered personal attention and excellent customer service. The facility is clean and super convenient. It was exactly what we needed for temporary storage. I highly recommend it. Thanks A-​1!

There’s only one bathroom and they lock it when the office closes! Pee BEFORE you come here!!!
But overall, very nice staff, clean units, reasonable prices, and they usually have a deal running.
BUUUUTTTTT… They DO need more hand carts though. Stay away on Fridays and Sundays. This location has some «swap meet-​ers» that tend to unload their units to sell and load again after the weekend. We made that mistake and they also hog the few carts around (one group of them unloading one truck into one unit had three carts!!!)

This is the second time I’ve had to use this storage unit in the last few months. Once to move a friend’s stuff into and once for myself. The location itself sparkles and very accessible. Now for the service, Steve was amazing. A very welcoming character, which is refreshing because I’ve never rented a storage unit and was nervous to be on site (I’ve heard crazy thing about some storage units) and that I was going to be dooped into renting too much space. Steve was very through, informative and inviting. He helped me get the best deal, helped google search the dimensions of my furniture to make sure it all would fit, showed me some of the available units, and even invited me to stop in any morning because they offer free coffee. Did I mention Steve is an ex-​cop? Talk about feeling secure!.. An ex-​cop that truly seems to enjoy his job on top of that. Very refreshing. So glad I don’t have to worry about safety, price or security here. Thanks guys!

25+ years storing stuff gives me the experience to make a very bold statement:
This A1 Storage place is –hands down–
THE BEST COMPARED TO ANY OTHER PLACE IVE EVER RENTED! It is the ONLY place fully deserving FIVE STARS.
As a renter I’ve seen just about everything good and bad about storing your extra stuff. This place is clean with easily accessible carts. No danger of flooding or weather damage. (You’d be surprised how often that can happen)
No bugs or little critters (even after 2 yrs)
Minimal dust and well-​maintained hallways and parking area.
Friendly and very competent staff known as Ken and Steve. They watch out for you, so you don’t have to worry about what goes on. You know exactly what I mean. You will feel safe about renting here.
Extended hours are great, especially if you need early or late access.
One caveat: this place is kinda busy, so check when planning to load/​unload a large unit. You can also park at the curb and access from there.
By the way I went to see other places before renting here. An available unit at Public Storage was dirty and looked like it had been broken into. Even after looking at 5 more units I was shocked at the overall poor maintenance. And the place was scary.
So A 1, your savvy staff, clean & safe premises, and easy access make you the tops in 25 years.

Steve was extremely friendly and helpful. Clean facilities, professional and up front about everything. All steps were explained through the signing up process. Feel very comfortable storing my belongings here for an extended period of time. Military friendly for sure.

I went out shopping storage units last weekend & A-​1 was my last stop. I rented a unit right on the spot. Steve was a great help & showed me different unit options. Facility was extremely clean & secured. They also have the longest operation & access hours. You can also drive right up to the elevator for your move & it’s easy to move around once inside. Highly recommend!

Best experience ever!!! Who would’ve thought getting storage would actually be fun. I had to get my storage during a very stressful time and Ken took the stress out of the situation. His knowledge and questions gave me a breath of fresh air. If everyone had a Ken working for them businesses would run much smoother and customers would have confidence in their purchases. A1 rocks and very happy with what the product they offer.

There are a lot of A-​1 storage locations but this is the best I have found so far. There staff is really great and the «director of first impressions» Ken is hilarious! When I moved in they helped assess what size space I needed and ended up saving me $ 300…legit storage.
