Can anyone recommend me a safe place to store my bitcoins?
You may need to start with understanding that any wallet you get, it will not hold your coins; the coins will never leave the network/blockchain.
A wallet's main job is to help you sign transactions, the only way to spend coins.
So what you have to safely hold is the keys or wallet seed. Not bitcoins.
This is important because it doesn't matter you lose your wallet, as long as you kept the seed safely.
And this is important because no matter how safe your wallet is; if somebody else got the seed (if you didn't store it right) he will steal your coins without touching your wallet.
Now, to the question: since you lack the knowledge, I also recommend you spend some money and get a hardware wallet. I also recommend you take extra care and:
* generate a new seed after you receive the hardware wallet
* verify the seed (reset the hardware wallet and check if you get the same addresses)
* make offline backups of the seed and keep them safely in different locations, far from each other.
