This place is like Fort Knox for storing and securing your goods on the Peninsula. Was able to get a storage locker fast on the day of need. Staff is helpful and willing to work with their customers. Would definitely recommend.

The team at All American Self Storage were a big help for me during the start of the pandemic when I needed to manage moving most of my belongings into storage while being out of the country. They worked with my mover and helped me estimate what my storage needs would be. When I did get back into the country, I found the physical location to be convenient, clean, and secure. And when I needed to terminate the lease, that process was also easy to manage.

I just completed a move from Chicago to the Bay Area, and I needed a place to store my belongings while I look for an apartment. It was easy to reserve my storage unit online, but when a sudden car accident happened on my way to San Mateo, I had to postpone my rental. The stay (specifically Mr. TJ Saba) were incredibly understanding, friendly, and supportive. Today when I was finally able to access my unit after a significant delay, I was able to meet Mr. Saba in person, and it was a breeze to get set up with my unit. I would highly recommend All American Self Storage to anyone who requires some additional space for their belongings for any duration of time!

Clean and not part of a chain, this is the storage company to use if you are looking to store your stuff for awhile. Staff works pretty hard at keeping this place up and competitive, and are generally very helpful with questions or problems. Highly recommend checking them out. Go here and then go to Public Storage, you'll see what I mean.
