Planning my first trip to Frankfurt in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from the US and have experience in Europe but this would be my first time in Frankfurt.
Thanks for any help!

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $122/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.
