well, as a matter of fact, being a member of couchsurfing and having at least a guest each week i have muchos experience in this field. the goal is to be as invisible as possible. of course i don´t mean that as the person you´re staying with won´t want you around but keep everything you bring with you to a minimum, and keep it neat. try not to use everything they own and pitch in for food and any travel expenses that you are involved with. if it´s just you staying with just your friend there are no dramas but if there are more than one of you, esp a SO than be very careful not to be exclusive. keeping to yourselves thinking it is polite isn´t. i don´t see the towel as being a big issue as i´m wise enough to have more than one and have no hesitation letting a guest use one. i´ve tolerated sex on the bed (it was funny to me and i clean sheets after guests anyway) and blood (they got most of it out but things happen...) after all of this it´s not rocket surgery and if you put yourself in your friend´s shoes and think about what he´ll appreciate then you´re on the right track. i think the most important thing is this: BE FUN. i cannot stress that enough
