In Skyrim, what house or safe storage chest is the closest in travel time from a fast travel location? Preferably there should be no loading screens between the fast travel location and a chest to dump stuff.
I am currently using the Riverside Shack south of Windhelm which is reasonable close though still annoying for lack of containers and drafts. (And may not be safe.)
Note: The place doesn't need to be free, I've quite a bit of money. I'm looking for the overall most efficient / fast access house.

I really don't see how you can beat Breezehome in Whiterun for the combination of features and time.
While there is a loading screen, it's extremely fast even on my slow laptop (which is below the minimum specs for Skyrim in several ways) and it's just a few steps from the fast travel location.
There are two sacks on the shelf right by the door you can reach without moving once inside.
There are plenty of other containers for sorted, more long term storage. You can get the "Well Rested" buff instead of just "Rested" since you actually own the bed.
It's definitely the most convenient of the purchasable houses.
