As per title.

Can anyone vouch-for any of the short term baggage storage options in Europe.

Apps seem to include 'Bounce' and 'Stasher` and stowyourbags.com

We're off to Roma, and on the final day the Airbnb kicks out at 10:00 and our flight is at 21:00

Any positive reviews or experiences?

LuggageHero and Bounce worked well in various cities. Can google locations before booking - often the locations are hotels making some extra money from their spare luggage storage space.

If it's just hand luggage, what about the station lockers?
We've used this a few times in various places.

I used Store My Luggage in Rome three weeks ago and it was fine. But you control the locker door from your phone so make sure you have roaming data. I managed to get one large hard-shell suitcase in and squeezed in a rucksack with camera equipment in too.

Beware that many so-called luggage storage places in Rome are just a guy who shoves your bags in a room at the back of the shop and if they close the shop for any reason, you lose access to your stuff. It's also fairly easy for thieves to gain access. For that reason I chose to pay a little extra for security of a proper company.

We’ve used storage at Verona station and it was fine. Last time we thought about it in Rome (outside and around the station) the queue was extremely long so would have been a long wait to drop off and probably the same to collect again.

We always use bounce and never had an issue. You can see the reviews online, but we normally check opening times to ensure we can collect bags when we need.

We've used Locker in the City a few times - fully automated & and they're great. There's even charging ports within the lockers (that might be pretty normal though) and they have lockers for every size of luggage. I'd highly recommend.

This is all very useful, thank you.

I will look at where we are, where we are going and locker size.

ta!
