Balfour House is located in Leith area, close to the sea and the docks and just within 10 minutes from the city centre. The area is plenty of restaurants and useful shops. Leith is fortunate to have kept a sizeable proportion of old buildings and the area around the shore is fascinating, helped by good refurbishments. If you fancy a stroll, you can reach the city centre in foot in a 15-min. walk, otherwise you can catch a bus and reach Princes Street in short time.
