If you think these plants look happy in this light, wait until you see what it does for humans. Superhosts Matt and Ron turned their penthouse loft into a re-energizing urban oasis. Not that the surrounding area is a desert—sprawling Victoria Park is a block away. When you’re hungry, keep the blooming theme going at Scarecrow, a unique combination florist-café. Photo: @mrcigar

Elizabeth’s handbuilt 1957 mountain home is only 10 minutes from the shops and street performers of Pearl Street, but you’d never know it.

The narrow 14th-century streets of Bukchon Hanok Village can make you lose track of where—or when—you are. This renovated hanok in the heart of the neighborhood can have the same effect (at least until you use the distinctly 21st-century toiletries). Check out the two palaces that flank the neighborhood or ask your Superhost, Han, for local tips while savoring the traditional breakfast he provides each day. Photo: @analog_hanok_in_bukchon
