If you are staying at an AirBnB, apparently "no" according to these sources:
BONUS TIP: SHOULD I TIP MY AIRBNB HOST?
This question that has cropped up repeatedly since we published this original post. The short answer is no, you should not tip your Airbnb host. Tipping is a way of showing appreciation for good service, but Airbnb hosts don’t see what they’re doing as a service as such – rather, they’re sharing their home with you as an equal. You and they co-exist in the same space; they do not ‘serve’ you in the same way that hotel staff might do. As such, there is no need to tip them. If you want to show your appreciation, a small gift such as a box of chocolates or even just a note would be more appropriate.

Am I supposed to tip when I stay at a short-term rental?
Post: “If there’s a fee associated with it I don’t really see a reason to tip. I look at Airbnbs as different than a hotel…if there’s a cleaning fee, I’m not gonna pay extra. Cleaning services are different than hotel cleaning services: ‘This is my business; I charge rates so I don’t need tips.’ … I’d not put it in the same category as hotel cleaning staff.”

And from Airbnb:
Should I tip my experience host?It's up to you. Your host set a price they expect will fully cover your experience. We suggest you research cultural hospitality norms in your destination. If you want to show appreciation for your host, write a review encouraging other guests to book their trip.
