Nice places
Places to rest or to watch everything end

The house itself. Let the isolation consume you.
The illusory dream. It's a looping set-piece. Its looping aspect gives an spatial propery to it: you get out of it by performing a specific action. If not, it's like being stuck inside a room without doors.
Firelink Shrine. When you get home after a long day full of exercising your limbs. You rest on, reflecting on what you could but didn't do. Coward.
That one snowy mountain
That one fairy fountain
You might not have a home to return to, but where children gather still lingers a sense of normalcy
That one minuscule place where some rando is blasting your ears off with some unbearable and repetitive techno insanity. At least you can't hear the world dying.
That room with the weird fountain is my favorite "safe haven"
The room you wake up in is the most unconfortable place I inhabited in a video game.
The final zone of the game. This thing is full of nice places but the last one takes the cake. It's a place where life and death coexist, like suspended in time.
Hyrule Castle. Another place suspended in time, in this case shrouded in some kind of "epic mystery"
The theater's basement is an amazing depiction of hell
From The Witch of Agnesi. Be free, like an animal, you are nature.
The Aurora. In a world where everything has the chaotic touch of nature, inhabiting a man made space gives a much needed order for your sanity to keep afloat.
The whale. It showcases excellently the philosophy design of this game's places as shattered proto-spaces. Which must be connected, forming an unlikely but needed whole by the game's very own premise.
