Easy process from start to finish. Clarissa was very helpful getting everything ready and assisting us through the process to make the move less stressful. Second time I've used this storage unit and would be happy to again
Finn was super helpful and friendly! I haven’t come across great customer service in a while, and Finn hits the nail on the head. He walked us through a couple of options for the units and helped us come to a decision. Will definitely be coming back to Kennington in the future because of Finn :)
I am writing to thank Geraldine for her amazing service and helpfulness when she checked me in on Saturday, Sept 6th. And this was after she took the time to get the exact measurements of two units I was considering. These days it is rare to encounter someone who offers such great customer service. Big Yellow Kennington you are lucky to have her working for you. thank you
