Best areas in Frankfurt? Planning my first trip

Planning my first trip to Frankfurt. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Colombia?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?

Coming from Australia with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in Frankfurt.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.

Great report, thanks for sharing. Had a similar experience there last month.

This matches my experience. Frankfurt is underrated.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Can confirm. Was there recently and everything checks out.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
