MISS MONICA @ EXTRA SPACE STORAGE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SERVE ME AND MY COMPANY.
I managed a small photography company for the fall season and used this location and a central hub storage unit for all my photographer and our equipment.
Miss Monica at the front desk made sure I got the best available units and fit every specific request I had on a short notice. She was always around the facility working with a positive attitude and great energy maintaining this space.
I HIGHLY recommend this location to use as a short term or long term storage unit.

Just had the most wonderful experience with Monica at the southCongresslocation. I was honestly thinking about shopping around for a different storage facility to save money. After my interaction with her I think I'll stick around a bit longer. What a difference one great employee does for your location.
