Yes, definitely. I try to keep to this rule whenever I'm visiting anyone, even if it's for a long-term stay. Try to be as invisible as possible--keep your belongings tidy (not sprawling out in all directions from your suitcase, for example), clean up any bathroom mess than you might make, and in general, be considerate of what the other person considers to be their Ideal Space. I even hold to this standard when I go home now, since I'm basically "visiting" my mom's place... though it can be tough to resist slipping into Ultimate Slob Mode at times, I try to hold out.
