QUESTION:

Does anyone have any experience, advice, etc. r.e. storage rooms in NYC. Chelsea Self Storage seems the cheapest. Are they safe, clean, etc.? I also looked into Sofia & Manhattan Mini Storage.

ANSWER:

I've used both Chelsea and Manhattan Mini Storage. In my experience, MMS is a real bull---- operation--they quoted me a specific price on the phone, but once I was there with the movers and my stuff they asked me for mysterious arcane sale codes which the salesman had ostensibly given me but hadn't, and for a deposit equal to three month's rent. After some argument I did end up with the price I'd been quoted, but I had to live with the huge deposit and the fellow I complained to later on the phone was insultingly patronizing---"moving is a very emotional time," he told me. Oh, and the facility I was at didn't have enough carts. Chelsea is fine, though their movers left me in the lurch twice.
