I booked a place on airbnb 2 days before I went. It was a spontaneous trip. Lol
I went by myself, met some great people, made some cool friends and over all had a blast! If you book in advance though you can find cheaper places. I stayed near the English Garden (only about 10 min subway ride to Oktoberfest) but a lot of people stayed near the central station or south of it. Basically book a place with good reviews and book it a month or two in advance and you're golden.
I paid $100 a night (compared to $400-500) for a hotel but you can get rooms for $45 a night as well. Don't worry too much about the location. Just try to stay within Munich (not the suburbs) and you're good since you can get anywhere in town via subway and buses.
