I used their luggage service on a busy day in Cambridge and it made everything so much easier. The staff were really friendly and quick to help—everything felt organized from the moment I arrived. I left my bags with them hands‑free and didn’t have to worry about carrying them around while I explored. Overall, a smooth experience, and I’d happily tell a friend to use them too. If you want, tell me what day/time you went and how long you needed storage (a couple hours vs. all day), and I’ll tailor it even more to match your real experience

Quick collection and drop-off. Even though the collection was at 11 pm, we arrived 15 minutes early, and the lad was waiting for us to close up, because as soon as we arrived, he closed up. It took us a bit to find it because it was just down the stairs from the underground station. I’d recommend it.

DIRECTIONS HARD TO FIND BUT GOOD PLACE Let me save you the trouble in finding this store because it WAS a convenient and safe place to keep my large bags a stone's throw from the Gare de Lyon station when a took a 4 day trip from Paris to Avignon (POV: American traveling in France for a couple of weeks who speaks and comprehends basic French). The address takes you to the backside of a building (which is the back Cocci market). It will say the walk is 2 minutes per Google directions. I told the driver to just let me out and wandered around confused looking for a grocery storefront on the main street perpendicular to Rou Jean Bouton for 10 minutes before seeing the train station, heading there, then seeing the market is on the inside of the complex encircling the train station. Best directions: My Radical Storage email directed me to 12 Pl. Henri Frenay, 75012 Paris. You want to be at the intersection of Rue Jean Bouton and pedestrian street Rue Paul-Henri Grawin. Beyond the arch where Rue Paul-Henri Grawin ends is the Gare de Lyon train station. Turn left after you cross through the arch. Cocci Market will be a few hundred steps on the left. Show them your QR code they will take a picture of your bag and it will check you in then your bags will be taken back. The bags were kept safe, dry, and as good of condition as I brought them in. I did use luggage locks. Once you drop your bags, you will be in Hall 3> on the ground floor and need follow the signs to go up for your train for Halls 1 or 2.

About Plaza del Congreso

Plaza del Congreso in Buenos Aires is a central and historically significant public space, located at the western end of Avenida de Mayo. It faces the Argentine National Congress building, an impressive Beaux-Arts construction completed in the early 20th century. The plaza itself, designed by French-Argentine urbanist Charles Thays, was inaugurated in 1910 as part of the city's centennial celebrations of the May Revolution, which led to Argentina's independence.

The layout of Plaza del Congreso is a testament to the grandeur and aspirations of early 20th-century Buenos Aires. It features a number of notable sculptures and monuments, including the Monumento a los Dos Congresos, which commemorates the Congress of Tucumán (1816) and the Constitutional Assembly of 1853. This monument, designed by Belgian sculptor Jules Lagae and Argentine architect Eugenio D'Huicque, features a central fountain and a series of statues symbolizing the provinces of Argentina.

Visitors to Plaza del Congreso can also appreciate the various architectural styles that flank the square, ranging from Art Nouveau to Neo-Gothic. The plaza serves not only as a civic space where citizens gather for protests and public events, symbolizing the democratic spirit of the nation, but also as a cultural hub, reflecting the rich urban tapestry of Buenos Aires. Its dynamic mix of historical resonance and vibrant public life makes it a pivotal site in the urban and cultural landscape of the city.
