edit: there used to be an app called "couch surfers" or similar. Could find a couch to crash on for a night. Or you can AirBNB and use the shared space option. . . or just rent a room (I've done this in Lisbon and Munich, worked great). Also, you can stay in Hostels. Or Bring a tent and make it a camping trip.
