Italy last minute

Impromptu Rome journey and I need a place to store a few bulky items for a night or two, things that would be too much of a pain to deal with at the apartment. If it can also arrange a transport on the day we leave that would be amazing. Besides the Central Station, is there any good recommendation but can also take the bulky luggage ? Thank you in advance if you reply. Asking for personal recommendations as I'm in a rush! I also like to spend not too much money.

There is a service called Bon Bags that holds luggage and delivers it to you later. I've never used them myself.

What do you mean by bulky items? Large luggage like body bags? Furniture?? Appliances? Or??

It will make a difference.

Yes, my question is the same, wondering what kind of bulky items you might be storing? I used a service my last time that stored outsize luggage, bikes, and took care of shopping items and things for a few hours, daily, and weekly rates and arranged private airport transfers....do you mean a transfer to the airport or elsewhere?

Anyway, the storage I used had rates that were similar to the other businesses of its type, very good service, it was safe, clean, and in the center, and here's the website: http://www.stowyourbags.com/

Again, not sure where you need to be or what exactly you need to store but I hope this helps!

First thank you all for your help in this matter. I had an apartment with friends in the historical center with many stairs but traveled onwards elsewhere and needed to store a few large suitcases and a trunk of gift items. Also Rome is a very amazing place and I bought even more gift items at the local "flea" markets so it became quite the load! I took advantage of the Stow Your Bags company and their transport + free item deposit because I found kind words about them online and also my plans changed, I stayed some days longer and they were flexible with me, and everything was as I left it. It was a lovely stay overall, I very much like Rome!
