• Manhattan Mini Storage

  800-786-7243

  Let us guess: Your closets are full, and your building’s basement is mildewy and just generally scary, but that coat has to go somewhere safe for the summer. Manhattan Mini Storage�in this case, biggest is best�offers clean, climate-controlled spaces suitable for Fendi or fine art. The company’s highly navigable Website (manhattanministorage.com) allows users to reserve a space by special features like air-conditioning, 24-hour access, walk-in closet, and alarm system. All the Manhattan buildings keep a manager on-site in case of problems and offer security video monitoring, off-street parking, and your own lock and key. (There are sixteen Manhattan locations, too�no small factor, as you’ll discover the first time you have to haul something heavy back home.) Five-by-five-foot rooms start at $124 per month, and the larger units are big enough for a full apartment’s worth of furniture. For an extra fee, a concierge will visit and arrange the logistics, so you don’t have to lift a finger except to point out your boyfriend’s sports-memorabilia collection, which, obviously, needs to go.
