Not a recommendation, but a caution: Read the fine print. I know a guy who had his stuff in storage, was short a few dollars on one payment, arranged a new payment date and that this was ok, went to pay, and discovered everything had been sold at auction and "he didn't owe them anything". It makes you wonder to what extent this behaviour might be part of the business model.

LP records

I dunno for sure, but I suspect that if the units aren't air-conditioned, you won't have LPs when you return.

There's a self-storage facility along Route 1 as you're coming up to the first traffic light as you get near the Holland Tunnel. I think the entrance is on one of the local streets, maybe 12th/13th?
