Check-In - Hours of Business - How to arrive
Our regular hours of business are between 10.30 pm and 8.00pm (with a lunch break between 1:30 and 3:00pm) from Mondays to Fridays and from 3:00 pm until 8:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Normal check-in time is from 3.00pm to 8.00pm on your booked day of arrival at our offices in Via Pergolesi 31 on the mezzanine floor. If you plan to arrive after 8:00pm this will need to be specifically agreed, and a special late check-in fee may apply. 

If you would like to check-in prior to 3pm, from Monday to Friday you have the following two options:
1) Pay an extra night and so assure the availability of your apartment upon your arrival and we will also send someone to receive you prior our office opening hour at 12.30pm.
2) Take your chances by coming to our office after 12.30pm: if the previous tenant has already left and your apartment has been already cleaned, we will be happy to check you in at no extra charge.

By appointment fom Monday to Friday you may temporarily deposit your luggage at our reception between 11.00am and 3.00pm free of charge. Otherwise we suggest using the Centrale Station’s luggage deposit open between 6.00am and 11.00pm every day.

Airport shuttle buses run approximately every ten minutes to and from Centrale and all three of Milan's main airports: Linate, Malpensa and Orio al Serio (Bergamo).

Security Deposit/Guarantee - Inventory
Upon check-in we request a security in order to guarantee the return of the keys and of the apartment in a proper state. It varies depending on the apartment and the length of your stay between 200 euros for rentals of up three nights, up to an amount equivalent to the rental amount for longer stays. For rentals up to three weeks the security guarantee is usually given through a pre-authorisation on your credit card. For rentals of over three weeks and for those guests who don't want to provide a credit card pre-authorisation as security guarantee, we also accept security deposits (see Payment Methods). Upon check-in we provide you with a clean apartment in good conditions. If upon entering your apartment you find anything which doesn’t seem right to you, please notify us immediately because if upon your check-out we find anything broken or missing in your apartment which you didn't notify us upon check-in, we will assume you broke it. Each apartment has a detailed inventory which you may request upon check-in.

Contract
At check-in you will be asked to sign the rental contact in Italian, governed by Italian civil law. If your primary residence (‘Residenza’) is in Milan kindly let us know prior to your check-in. If requested we can provide you with an English translation of the contract: the Italian version will be binding. The Italian State requires residential rental contracts for stays of over 30 nights to be registered. Registration requires your Italian tax ID (‘Codice Fiscale’) which you are obliged to provide us (we will explain how to obtain this if requested). For a commission we can obtain your codice fiscale on your behalf.
