Stay away from windows
Interior room
Basement if possible (no in TV)
The closets seem to be the best choice in TV as many of the houses in TV are open design, have large sliding glass doors, and relatively large windows.
Depending on the model, the laundry room might be a good alternative.

PS welcome to TV.
