I've written about Couchsurfing before on this blog and it is something I feel is a very good platform for travelers to meet people and locals in different countries. In the end, the person hosting you is providing you a link to the local culture and free accommodation. Personally, I've found most of my couchsurfing hosts to be extremely welcoming and polite. I believe that it is like this in most cases. Therefore, it is important that as a couchsurfer, you should do your best to not take the generosity of your host for granted. Having consulted with one of my former, and my first, couchsurfing host, Stefan, he has helped come up with a list of things from his own hosting experience which CS hosts would appreciate from their couchsurfer.
