10 years ago, if you told me I’d be going on a vacation that involved sleeping in the bedroom of a house belonging to a person I didn’t know, I’d say you were crazy. Oh, and hitchhiking? My parents always warned me not to get into cars with strangers. So what if you said that it would become totally commonplace to hop into the back of people’s private vehicles and catch a ride somewhere?<\/p>\n

Obviously, the world is changing.<\/p>\n

When my brother told me about this cool new company–“the Airbnb of Storage,” he called it–my first thoughts were that it was risky to store your stuff at some random person’s house. Or to store some unknown person’s stuff at your house. There’s no way I would ever do that, I thought. But hang on a second. I did my homework, and I have changed my mind. Why? Check this out:<\/p>\n

Symbiotic Relationships<\/h2>\n

First of all, the words “symbiotic relationship.” If that phrase means nothing to you, Google it<\/a>–and then scroll through countless images of super random animals doing really bizarre things. My favorite is the bird happily neiysitting inside the alligator’s mouth. Alligator is getting his teeth cleaned; birdie is getting a meal.\"neiybor-safe-symbiotic-relationship\"<\/p>\n

Symbiotic<\/strong> = win\/win.<\/p>\n

Neighbor<\/strong> = win\/win. Renter gets cheap storage; host gets monthly payout.<\/p>\n

So is Neighbor Safe?<\/h2>\n

So maybe Neighbor is nice for all parties involved. That’s great. But why should you care? If you’re hunting for a place to store your stuff, you probably want three things: a convenient location, the best value for your money, and flexible terms that don’t lock you into a year-long contract.<\/p>\n

On all three counts, Neighbor is miles ahead. Most of the time, when you’re looking for storage, you’re on the phone checking availability and prices or driving across town to the one storage company you see on your way to work.  With Neighbor, you see every storage option in one search<\/strong>—from trusted national facilities with 10×10 units to local gems<\/strong> like your neighbor’s extra garage, an apartment building’s storage locker, or even a climate-controlled basement just around the corner. It’s the most comprehensive self storage marketplace.<\/p>\n

Get online and look up the average cost<\/a> of a storage unit rental, not to mention the required 6-month, 12-month, 2-year contracts. Look up how far away<\/em> the nearest storage unit is from where you live. And then, after you do that and get a good idea for the availability and expense of storage units, then <\/em>go to Neighbor<\/a> and see what sort of options are available in your own neighborhood. See how much cheaper those options are. And see how friendly and smiley the hosts look.<\/p>\n
