Time Out says: The district’s backbone, Berger Straße, runs 2.9 km of cobbled wanderlust – lined with brunch spots, bars, and boutiques made for wandering (and people-watching). Plus, at this Airbnb, the U4 is only a six-minute walk away and goes directly to the main train station or the city centre

Neighbourhood: Sachsenhausen

This serene maisonette in Sachsenhausen offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape. If you're looking for a restful home base, you can't go wrong with this cosy Airbnb with wooden ceilings and a very sweet nook for you to rest your head. Plus you're close to extensive woodland trails that lead to local landmarks. There's on-site parking as well as a bus stop right outside for quick trips across town.

Sleeps: Two people

Price: From €88 per night

Time Out says: If you prefer nature walks over city noise, this spot puts the Stadtwald right on your doorstep. Enjoy morning strolls to the Goethe Tower and Oberschweinstiege before hopping on the bus out front to reach central attractions in no time

Neighbourhood: Nordend

Situated in Frankfurt's trendy Nordend, this bright and comfortable flat offers an ideal home base for city breaks or longer stays. You’ll have access to shared home spaces including a kitchen, dining room, a bathroom and the highlight: a gloriously large balcony to enjoy the city sights from. Locals swoon over Nordend – and it’s easy to see why. Gründerzeit architecture, leafy boulevards and a parade of prams and pups on every corner.

Sleeps: Two people

Price: From €135 per night

Time Out says: The area where Eckenheimer Straße meets Glauburgstraße is your go-to for stellar restaurants that won’t break the bank, while Oeder Weg is basically one long café crawl. If you're only in the city for the weekend, read our guide on what to do over 48 hours

Neighbourhood: Ostend

This modern and bright spot is bound to give you the mood boost you need. That's because there are pretty plants dotted all around. It also features a well decorated bedroom and shiny wood flooring. If you ever need a spot of fresh air, you've got a lovely terrace garden overlooking Frankfurt. Plus, there is a full HD TV for all your Netflix needs, a garden and a coffee machine for a tasty morning latte. You can also look forward to a fridge full of food the owner (according to reviews) doesn't mind you helping yourself to!

Sleeps: Two people

Price: From €279 per night

Time Out says: This Airbnb is in the up and coming Ostend district, which is home to Frankfurt Zoo and Ostpark. You're also close to the landmark ECB, where you'll get a taste of Frankfurt’s industrial past and contemporary identity. Make sure you book dinner at Oosten, near the old crane, for striking city views. Read our guide to the best restaurants in the city

Neighbourhood: Innenstadt, central district

Apartments in Frankfurt can be – it’s fair to say – a little same-y. This one, however, has been given some extra va-va-vroom thanks to a few stylish twists, like the exposed brickwork in the living room and the sexy monochrome kitchen area. Our favourite addition is the working telescope which can be used for stargazing (and umm… definitely NO spying on the neighbours, OK?!)

Sleeps: Three people

Price: From €249 per night

Time Out says: Innenstadt is an interesting mix of futuristic financial skylines and old buildings, and there's plenty to do in this part of town. This Airbnb is super close to the best shops in Konstablerwache. Schedule in movie night at one of the three (!) retro art cinemas which show German and international indie films. There's plenty of other Instagrammable places in the city - here's our list of the best ones

Neighbourhood: Ostend

There’s something immediately relaxing about this neatly designed city apartment. It’s simply but effectively decorated in a way that feels just a tiny bit feminine, despite the bold use of geometric lines and a black-and-white colour palette. It’s got everything you’d need for a short break in town, including a small kitchen area and a nice sofa space for morning coffee.

Sleeps: Two people

Price: From €1,752 per month (at the moment this Airbnb has a 90 day minimum stay)

Time Out says: You're in a great location for getting to know the Ostend and the centre. Don’t forget to visit the Frankfurt Zoo! It’s walkable from this flat

Neighbourhood: Dreieich, 20 minutes from Frankfurt

This super swanky space for two is the kind of place you want to take your shoes off as soon as you enter - it’s that clean and sparkling. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, bedroom and walk-in wardrobe, as well as a balcony for ultimate chilling time. Just down the road, there’s cute restaurants, a bakery and a pizzeria. Think this sounds dreamy? Us too. 

Sleeps: Two people

Price: From €117 per night

Time Out says: You’ll be outside of Frankfurt (20 mins by car and train) enjoying the quietude of the beuatiful commuter town Dreieich. Train tickets to Frankfurt's city centre are cheap and come in at around €6

Neighbourhood: The Westend (Westend-Süd)

Located in the south bit of the city’s Westend, this quirkily decorated apartment is perfect for a short weekend break in Frankfurt. We love the retro styling of the place and the palm-print wallpaper. A large window keeps the room feeling light and has nice views of a little garden area. There’s no kitchen area provided, but the host has kindly provided an espresso machine and a kettle for all your caffeine addict needs. Plus, you won’t have any trouble accessing restaurants and cafes when hunger calls.

Sleeps: Two people

Price: From €72 per night

Time Out says: There's plenty of top Frankfurt attractions to explore from here. You're a 10 minute walk from the Old Opera House (The Alte Oper) and the palm garden, a very impressive botanical garden that dates back to 1871.
