I use trip advisor a lot for hotels and restaurants.

Airbnb is my go to source for housing these days, both in the US and outside.

And the lonely planet website is great for restaurants, bars and fun places to go end hang out.

Also, there are lots of walking tours available on the web, and these often take you to great neighborhoods, fabulous local food and good nightlife/music.

Have a great time and stay flexible!
