Mixing contemporary minimalist furniture with Georgian period features, Watching For Comets feels very homey. Both modern and bright, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay – including an open-plan kitchen/living room, which sets the scene for many cosy nights-in. The tram runs past the front of the home, so you’re also incredibly well-connected. And if you feel like exploring the city by foot, you can reach many of Edinburgh’s art galleries and the Water of Leigh in about ten minutes.
