If you’re not sold on staying at a hostel, or you’re traveling with a handful of people, Airbnb is your new best friend. You can rent individual rooms or entire apartments, depending on your preference or price range. These homes are fully vetted and many of the hosts are very generous, leaving new food items for their guests and offering late check out. Most hosts also leave their key in a lockbox, so you can check in at all hours of the night with no issues–you can’t even do that without paying extra at certain hotels!
The best is when the Airbnb’s have kitchen’s! Buy a loaf of eggs and some bread, and you are good to go!
