South Korean design studio Z_Lab wows with its renovated rentals

Nuwa is the definition of a cozy nook. The holiday rental property is only accessible by foot along a small hidden path in the Seochon area of Seoul -- a picturesque inner-city village to the west of Gyeongbok Palace and South Korea’s version of the White House, Cheong Wa Dae. Guests pay $144 per night for 21 sq. meters -- tiny even by the standards of the country’s traditional homes, or hanoks. Yet customers are scrambling to stay here: It is fully booked until February.
