I have 2 main questions:

​​​​​​1) is it easy to find cheap accomodations day-by-day along the route? Online I don't see many options but maybe there are a lot more unlisted? Booking in advance is needed this time of the year?

2) I've heard the Bratislava-Budapest segment is not as interesting as the previous one and the bike path quality degrades as you go further from Austria. Is the true? do you suggest to skip that portion of the trip?
thanks
