It's a ranch, so there are no interior rooms. There are also no closets except in the bedrooms, and those are full.
There's a tiny interior hallway, but the big HVAC unit is right above it in the attic.
There's a wee little closet on a brick exterior wall in the playroom.
Which of those spots is better? 
I have a ranch as well. My spots are:
Under the basement stairs where we have a storage area.
In a "cellar" area that's insulated where I store my extra toys.
A bathroom in the basement that doesn't have windows.
