Staeven is the consummate host with a beautiful space. His bungalow is comfortable and quiet - a nice respite from the downtown vibe, and a great place to retreat to for rest and relax.
His cats and dog (say hi to Onyx for me) are all very friendly and will snuggle with you to your hearts content.
Staeven will give you suggestions for meals (take them!) and if he offers to make muffins in the morning, stick around...well worth the wait.
Had a great time, and I'd go back again in a heartbeat.
