My own personal advice would be
>nothing too slaughtery, moderately leveled, have it be a sunday stroll, but instead of picking up bread you're killing demons
>linear, the player knows where they have to go next
>use textures that complement each other well
>take some inspiration from or do a 1024 map, the claustrophobia of it feels strangely comfy and it's hard to get lost

This was really just a ramble on shit I find "comfy" in Doom maps, but I hope it helped.
