The noun "lugar" is masculine, so the correct article is "un".

Adjectives must agree with the masculine noun "lugar"; use "tranquilo".

Again, adjective agreement: "iluminado" matches the masculine noun.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, personal space is valued, especially for work or study. Mentioning "bien iluminado" shows awareness of comfort, as natural light is often associated with productivity. The phrase uses the informal imperative (Busca), so it’s appropriate with friends, colleagues, or anyone you address with "tú"; for a more formal tone you could say "Busque un lugar…".
