You can look for an apartment or hostel in or around Oeiras - there are a few options both in Booking and Airbnb (search by IGC address: Rua da Quinta Grande, 6, Oeiras).

There are hotels/hostels/apartments along the train line between Lisbon and Cascais (Linha de Cascais) - the IGC is 5-min walking from Oeiras train station, where trains travelling between Lisbon - Cais do Sodré and Cascais stop with a maximum of 20-min apart. Travelling from Lisbon to Oeiras costs 1,9 € and takes 17-24 min, whereas travelling from Cascais to Oeiras costs 1,6 € and takes 16 min. If you prefer to stay in Lisbon, close to Cais do Sodré or along the green Metro line, as close as possible to Cais do Sodré, you'll be in the centre of Lisbon and at a easy-to-commute distance to IGC. If you prefer to stay away from the city and closer to the beach, options would be Carcavelos, Parede, Estoril, Cascais, again, as close to the respective train stations as possible. To travel by train/Metro, the easiest and cheapest is to get a Lisboa Viva card (0.5 €) and charge as you go along (Zapping mode). You can charge you Zapping with a minimum of 3 € and a maximum of 40 €. It can be used in all public transport in Lisbon (including buses and trams) and it's cheaper option per journey.
