I didn't meet Kiran personally but it was really not necessary, as "The Cave" is effectively your own studio apartment in Laurel Canyon. If you're not used to the Hollywood Hills, the roads might seem a bit awkward at first but you'll get used to it, and there were actually multiple places to park on the street. As secluded as it seems, you are actually very close to the Sunset Strip, there were Uber cars going up and down Laurel Canyon Road regularly and they can drop you off at the Bar Marmont or wherever in minutes.
