Movers and Short-Term Storage

I’m moving at the end of the month and may end up homeless for a couple of days (i.e., move out Sept. 30th, don’t move in to new place til Oct. 2nd).

If I can avoid this nuisance I will, but if I can’t, I was planning to get a mover who could pick up my stuff on the 29th or 30th, store it for a few days, then show up on the 3rd to deliver it.

I’ll box 80-90% of the stuff myself and would like them to sort out the furniture and anything I didn’t get boxed up in time.

I’ve done an overnight storage before with Oz, so I’m planning to give them a call.

Does anyone who has done this in the past have advice?

I’m more interested in having everything go smoothly than in getting the cheapest price.

Oh, and any hotel suggestions for a 2-3 night stay with a small kid in park slope or downtown brooklyn?
