Nice and the French Riviera is a very popular place all year long but especially during summer. Nice has the 2nd busiest airport of France after Paris, so during summer it would be a good idea to expend your couch search for nearby towns such as [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=15001 Antibes] and [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=7191 Cannes]. You can also use [http://www.couchsurfing.org/mapsurf.html?form=basic the old way of looking for a couch ] and "Expand your search to include CouchSurfers within 5 to 50km) since a lot of CouchSurfers live outsides cities. There's a lot of cheap trains and bus between cities so don't worry about moving around.

===Hostels/Hotels===

Considering the large number of tourists (and CouchSurfers) who visit the city, it is likely that you might not get a couch and you might have to look for a hostel/hotel instead. In that case, remember what the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says: "Don't Panic!"

If you are arriving in Nice within the next 72 hours (we love spontaneous decisions too!), you may try the [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=3049 Emergency Couchsearch group]. Of course, just posting in this group at the last minute does not guarantee you'll find a couch!

Here's some website with a list of hostels in Nice (links goes straight to Nice, in English!);

===Nice & Cheap Places to Eat===

You can find local specialities like "socca", "pissaladière" and "petits farcies" in the old town in places like the very touristic "rené socca" ou encore "lu pilha leva", but for the socca, you'll definitely prefer to go to "Chez Pipo" mentioned below, and pissaladière might be much better from a bakery.
"Chez Thérésa" is also a famous place for socca and pissaladère, you can find this lady on the market place (Cours Saleya)

You will find one of the best Pan Bagnat and salade niçoise at "Le Spuntino", a little snack bar on Rue de la Prefecture, and very cheap too, i've never finished the "normal" size salad yet! The small one costs about 6€ and it's definitely enough for one!
The owner has another snack bar right next to the cathedral and it's the same quality, pretty much everything is home-made. 

The classical ice creams home made: fenocchio with nearly 100 flavours !
