Can I just "borrow" an empty room in the city (for example in Port Kuwaad) ?
Is it possible to leave there my things without being stolen? Like exploiting barrels?

Sure, go ahead and use chests and stuff to store your things, but beware: If someone sees you take something from a container (not barrels), it will count as theft even if you put it there yourself! The best way to avoid being assaulted for this is to simply close the door
I like this way of aquiring property in Eschalon

In Book1 I invented this trick. I camped near the town until I was attacked by some random encounter monsters. Some of killed monsters dropped the loot. So I used those loot parcels as a containers to store my items. The parcel stays as long as you keep at least 1 item in it, and you can have as many of those as you want.
Hope, this works in Book2 as well )

Wow..that IS a good idea. Great for stashing those heavy exploding barrels.

Yes, it works in Book2. I used the bag outside my house front door to stash stuff like my journal, the letter and other bits of useless paper not needed anymore (until I was almost to the end of the game and I KNEW it wasn't needed again later) and kept the more useful items inside the house and in the barrel. Any open barrel can be used to stash stuff, just make a note where you are keeping things. I tend to forget after a while if spread all over the place!

Barrels, I keep next to Quick Travel signs for easy pick up. The barrels aren't harmed by rain or snow thank heavens!
