Love it, the guys are great and very helpful... ye, so it's a little more pricey compared to other places, but it's central, convenient and super safe and secure, we've been here for almost a decade now (jeeeeeez) and have never had any problems.
It's important to mention that the 3 main guys here are also secretly trained ninjas and if you;re really quiet at closing time you can just about hear them ninja-ing around.... it's really scary.. but it's additional security, I suppose. there's one guy called Ryan he even has a ponytail so i'll assume he's the head ninja, or lead ninja - I'm not sure - do Ninjas even have a ranking system? Anyway, that's not important.... what is important is they have working clean toilets too... I used to store at Public Storage downtown and the toilet put you off doing the toilet - I broke my own personal record of "holding in" while at my locker down there.... it' was so long that when I finally got home, and after I had finally let the barrier open and let the barges loose, I looked up on the internet if there was a 'holding in record' but could find one so i'm just content with my own record.
The Grove also has plenty of parking and room for big trucks and even a fancy fork lift if you're really into showing off in front of the smaller unit renters who have to make do with one of the slightly wobbly but tank esq free dollies (available when you leave your socks and shoes as a deposit) but don't worry, it's not the size of your dolly that counts it's the wobble in your wheels that gets results.
Please have a sense of humor if you chose to rent here because you might bump into me and some of my friends and we never take anything or anyone serious but we have met some serious people in here. I met this one guy who said "You know after 7pm the doors don't work and you can get locked in" AllI said was "are you serious?" and he said "YES" Some people, eh?

Read moreI was employed for many years at CBS Television City, directly next door to Farmers Market Self Storage and watched the construction of the facility literally from the ground up. In May of this year, after retiring from the studio and following the death of my mother, I needed a storage place--for the first time in my life. Naturally, I went to Farmers Market Self Storage and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! The place is spotless, well-lit, open 7 days a week, has a variety of different-sized and -priced units and is completely secure. You can see the extensive video cam coverage in their front office and each unit has a personal code for entry. (Same is true of the upper floors: today, I re-located to the 5th floor and have access to that floor only.) And the best thing, no doubt, about Farmers Market Self Storage is the always kind and attentive help from Ryan, Julio and Mark in the office. They run a clean operation, are friendly and polite, pleasant and professional. If there were more stars to check for this place, believe me, I'd check them. Try Farmers Market Self Storage and I guarantee you'll love it. ...
Read moreThey failed to explain that the elevators and all access expire after 7pm. We were under the impression that access to the building would not be allowed after 7 pm. That the elevators ran afterwards, so long as you were inside the secure building, an even the employee said we would be okay so long as we were inside the parking garage, this was not true. We unloaded items at 5:30 from the storage unit and at 7:05 when we went down to unload some of the storage we could not get back up, and our things were left sitting in the hallways of the storage with other tenants still up on the floor and no way back up to lock up our possessions in the unit. We had to stay the night in the uhaul! Tried calling and emails to management no reply from them. The following day the management and employees were apathetic towards us with absolutely no apologies at all. Clean and nice facilities, but very unprofessional and uncaring staff here for this reason I would not recommend...
