We arrived earlier than checkin allowed so we could explore the city. Stasher was the perfect solution to not needing to have our luggage with us. The online booking process allowed us to find the nearest location to our accommodations. It was easy to find, staff very friendly. We had confidence that our luggage would be safe. Retrieval was professional and fast as well
