Lucy Stillman and Desmond Miles at the Hideout

The Hideout is one of two modern-day locations seen in Assassin's Creed II. It serves as a base for the modern Assassins which includes Lucy Stillman, Shaun Hastings, Rebecca Crane, and Desmond Miles.

The building itself appears to be in Italy, as evidenced by signs written in Italian, and the architecture outside. The loft area of the hideout contains three doors that cannot be opened throughout the whole game, one of which is a reinforced metal door. Given that there is only one bed visible in the rest of the building, it is likely that at least one of the hidden rooms is for accommodation. Various equipment in the Hideout is branded with the Abstergo logo, perhaps indicating that it was stolen.

The Animus room contains the Animus 2.0. Lucy is usually found sitting at her desk with her computer. Her role is keeping track of the Assassin parties outside of the "hideout", fighting the Templars. Shaun acts a researcher, and he writes for the Animus' database as well as provide tactial support of other Assassins out in the field. Rebecca works next to the Animus, keeping record of its performance. Maintaining and fixing the machine is her responsibility. She also adds notes to the database using the pseudonym "Rebecca84", sometimes noting that there is a hidden "Glyph" on a nearby building. During the interludes when Desmond steps out of the Animus, he can interact with these characters to learn more about them and the story. Unfortunately, there is nothing else to do in these segments.

The ground floor of the building contains a large warehouse with piles of boxes, which later serve as a makeshift climbing tutorial for Desmond. It is possible that the Assassins bought the building after it had already been built as a warehouse. This area also contains the building's security systems.

Trivia

• When first entering the temporary base of the assassins, while using Eagle Vision, the road blockers on either side of the garrage door are seen in blue, as if they were allies.
• The buildings seen on the outside seem to resemble those of Florence. This could be why you don't see the outside when the assassins are escaping. Also in the parking area of the hideout, there are words in italian for private parking and some others.
• The keyboards used by Lucy and the other assassins are unusual in that they seem to "mirror" standard keyboards, with number pads on the left side and the main enter key also being on the left side. Presumably the rest of the keyboard is also reversed in a similar fashion.
