=== Find a couch / Solicitar un couch ===
Si estás buscando un sitio donde quedarte durante tu estancia en Granada puedes mandar mensajes<br /> individuales a miembro local, tambien puedes registrarte en nuestro grupo de solicitudes de couch: <br />
If you search a couch please contact members personally, you can also belong to Granada find couch Group (i strongly recommend the first option)<br />

=== Elementary rules / Reglas elementales ===
Por favour llene su perfil (foto, detales…), es siempre mejor mostrar información personal al miembro quiénes tienen que recibirle. <br />
Esté amistoso, provechoso, respetuoso, y participar a los honorarios. <br />

1) It is better to ask for hospitality directly to the people rather than leaving an open message in the group. In this way you’ll have the chance to know better who your potential host is we are sure it is your concern to know where you’ll end up sleeping!).<br />
Also, you won’t give the idea of being just someone looking for a free place to stay.<br />

2) Once you selected some people, be clear in your request; specify when you are arriving and when you are leaving.<br />

3) Be sure you thoroughly read your potential host’s profile. Do not ask for things that are already included in it!<br />

4) Have your own profile properly filled out, including some pictures. Let your perspective host be able to understand what kind of person you are.<br />

5) Explain your plans. Are you coming for a cultural visit or to enjoy the nightlife? Do you intend to sleep late or wake up early? ... These types of information will help the host decide whether he/she will take you in or not.<br />

6) Write your couch request with the right advance notice. Some people write requests several months before they arrive (it can be too much) or just a couple of days before (too short notice). A 2-4 weeks notice would be ideal.<br />

7) If you want to surf together with your partner or friends, specify if they are registered at CS as well, and eventually add a link to their profiles. If they aren't registered, have them sign up. People like to know who will be sleeping under their roof!<br />
