Storage facilities

[slinkr.livejournal.com]

Any recommendations for good storage facilities? Last post on this topic was 18 months ago, so I could use more recent input if anyone has it.

My wife and I are expecting a baby in December, so we're looking for a reasonably-priced storage unit where we can stash some furniture and stuff for a few months until we're able to move to a bigger place. We're on the east side of Somerville, but any recommendations in Somerville/Cambridge/Medford would be great. Thanks!

I did some pricing on storage places for some of my mom's stuff a few years ago. This advice will be slightly contrary to my usual "yay local businesses" attitude - but the further away from Somerville/Cambridge you go, the cheaper the monthly rates get. This is for basically the same facilities/features/etc. if you don't actually need to go back beyond dropping your stuff off (presumably w/ vehicle) and picking your stuff up (presumably again w/vehicle) you might want to look at some of the locations of these chains outside of the T accesible zone.

Along those lines, I was happy with Town Line Self Storage on Route 1, which I used for a about a year from 2005-6.
