Storage facilities
Hello everyone,
wondered if anyone could recommend a storage facilities near Manhattan?
W're moving next month and will need to empty a 4 bedroom house and move into a 2 bed flat. The storage here in UK is going to cost us about £200 a month and we wouldn't have access to our stuff when it suits us so wondered if we could find storage over there for same or preferably less money.
Any recommendation would be very welcomed.
Cheers!

Re: Storage facilities
Wait - what do you actually need?
Do you need somewhere you can keep your stuff and access it yourself at short notice? If so, you'll need Public Storage, Manhattan Mini Storage, or somewhere else self-service in NYC etc.
Or do you just need a big warehouse somewhere that you can put your stuff in so that if you eventually move into a bigger place, you can have it taken out of storage and moved in? Because in that case you can stick it in Ohio (or wherever) and have it put on a truck at a week's notice if you ever need it.
You don't want to be renting space in one of the world's most expensive real estate markets if you can avoid it!

Re: Storage facilities
Lapin_Windstar's right, we just need storage for our stuff for when and if we move into a bigger place so it could be anywhere really. I always like to work by recommendations and it would be really great to have an idea of price.
I've googled websites of course but you never get a price idea without phoning them up and I can do without the hassle of someone trying to sell themselves, specially as we only have 4 weeks to go!
Any suggestions?

Re: Storage facilities
Are your household goods being sent in two shipments? Obviously a 4 bed house worth of stuff won't fit into the 2 bed apartment. Surely you are not taking full delivery at the storage unit and moving the rest yourself. Moving in NYC is probably not easily done. I'm just a bit (well a lot usually) confused.
Other than that the other storage options given are good.
