Being a dream houseguest isn't difficult, but it does require a delicate balance between ensuring you are comfortable in someone else's home while also being polite, considerate and grateful to your hosts. After all, you are setting up camp in their home at least overnight, if not for a few days.
Your hosts will likely want you to be as comfortable as you can at their home, but this doesn't mean you should treat their property exactly as you would your own. Staying at someone else’s house requires complete respect for the fact that you are coming into their space, with their preferences, routines, and belongings. So it's important to act accordingly and be polite, respectful and courteous. You don't need to help them organise their kitchen or declutter their living room - it's all about tidying up after yourself.
