We are a family of four and had a great time in Hal's beautiful cabin. Although we were not able to meet Hal in person as he was traveling at the time we visited, he was a perfect host and super-responsive at all times. The house itself is really amazing with a cozy and nice living area and kitchen as well as two quiet bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked and got all the amenities you need. The garden truly is a little oasis in itself and offers a good place to relax in the afternoon or to have lunch/dinner. The location was also great and Laurel Canyon is a good place to reach all the relevant spots in L.A. while being a quite area surrounded by nature. We had a perfect stay.
