The merchant wrote a number on a scrap piece of paper, had me take a picture of it, then taped it to my suitcase. I even said to him that it didn't seem like a very professional way to handle the Stasher process. Kinda made me nervous about the process too, but our bag was found in the same shape and place as we left it.
Easy and simple great thank you
Great. Really straight forward drop off and collection. Staff knew exactly what they were doing.
Very easy to use and made my day so much easier
Very convenient since you can leave your luggage 24/7
Leaving our luggage here worked out perfect for us. The staff was very nice and we felt our luggage was safe.
Nice people who took good care of my bags. And I was able to get some snacks when I picked up my bags. It's about a 5 minute walk from the station. Easy enough to get to, even with a big bag (which I had).
Easy - Friendly Staff - Good service
Easy to find and they were helpful
Easily findable, friendly staff.
