8 Easy Ways to Be the Best Houseguest Ever

Give hosts a good idea of where you'll be and when. It's especially helpful to give a clear time and date of your arrival and departure, so hosts can make arrangements to let you in or lock up when you go.

But besides hellos and goodbyes, hosts will likely want to spend as much time with you as they can. It's totally OK to make plans with other people when you're a guest, and hosts will appreciate having a clear picture of your agenda so they can plan accordingly. More information is always a good thing.
