We loved our stay in Casa Scandic. Maria is such a lovely host. The communication was on time and on spot. The place has its own flavor, and everything you need for a nice stay. They even did yoga classes in the evenings! There are shops and restaurants all around, the beach is a 5min walk. You have trams and other public transport within reach if you want to go to downtown Porto. Would surely recommend the place to those who want a nice stay a bit further away from the buzzing of the city, but with beach and everything else reachable quick.
