Lydia is a lively, interesting host who had me feeling very comfortable right off the bat. She clearly knows Topanga well, and would be an excellent resource if you're looking for restaurant and activity recommendations. Her sense of style is beautiful and she's put much love and effort into creating a welcoming space at The Hidden Lady. I especially loved the plush and furry blankets and pillows in the sleeping nook! Very decadent. I happened to be staying there the night of a torrential rainstorm, and it was a cozy place to be. The outdoor spaces would have been very sweet on a sunny day. I can recommend this spot and Lydia highly!
