Nice little private house in Laurel Canyon, Hal is a wonderful host and responds immediately to questions and concerns.
Be aware that parking can be an issue depending on how many others are in the area. We were quite surprised how fast people drove around there as well, given the narrow streets and the need to park on the side of the road.
We ate at Pace, down the street, and it was wonderful.
We were able to spend a nice, quiet family Christmas at Hal's place and will always remember the time we spent there.
