The stay at Dote was a good experience. The place had a really great location within the city. Everything is easily accessible by foot without the area being to "touristy". There is a great restaurant just around the corner where you get the most amazing lunch!
The terrace of the apartment is great for the quiet evenings to enjoy a glass of wine.
If you are looking for a home base to experience Porto and don't have too much money this is the spot!
