Nice post! I consider couch surfing as the best way to mix with the locals and experience their culture and ways of life. http://volunteerstays.com/ offers many such opportunities where you also get to save some costs by doing work exchanges in return for food and accommodation.

The Community marketplace for house rentals is a great way to save money and travel comfortably. It can make your budget stretch farther and let you experience a city on a local level. Another site to check out for rentals (which I work for) is iStopOver: http://www.istopover.com/

Another thing you should consider is renting from a professional manager. Professional managers offer travelers a safer and more consistent experience (and they also have a brand to protect). If you're looking for a site for a wide variety of lodging options that only works with professional managers, check out http://www.RezSecure.com/.
