Stay away!!!!! Yes, you will have to purchase lock and monthly insurance! I had my belongings in storage for May-sept, when I moved out of my storage unit I realized my belongings had the most horrendous smell ever! They def did not go in there smelling like this! I am currently washing each and every item by hand hoping this stench goes away!! Even the wood in my dresser smells. I've had my belongings in storage before much longer than this and they came out smelling as good as new! Something is def. off about this place!!! Beware I wouldn't wish this stench on my worst enemy's belongings!
