Thank you once again, Stevenh!
I believe you have aided me "above and beyond" what I could expect.
Also, thank you for the offer of information for an "apartment escort" but I believe I will "stay close to home" as this is my first visit to the Frankfurt-RLD area and I want to explore it fully with my eye to the future to make it my preferred European p4p location.
I usually do not judge an area on the first visit so I will be open minded and I will report my experiences on this thread.
Lastly, if you have read my previous posts, you will see I have bemoaned the fact of the astronomic and relatively recent increase of accomodation pricing in Amsterdam. This really has me upset as I like Amsterdam and prided myself with being as "street smart" about what's going on there as you are for the Frankfurt-RLD.
For my budget, it has become unafordable to lodge there but perhaps to "day trip" in future travels?
Any information in response to my questions from other fellow mongers on the Frankfurt-RLD would also be greatly appreciated!
Thank you once again, Stevenh!
You "tweaked" my curiosity in you last report!
Is there a(or are there) "mini" RLD(s) as an alternative to the Frankfurt Haptbahnhof area?. If so, how does one easily get there and back on the bus, metro, or train?
In other parts of the world there is sometimes a "tourist RLD" and one for "locals".
Advantages of the "tourist RLD" is usually that there are a larger number, younger, more attractive(strickly a subjective opinion, of course!) providers and more English is spoken. Disadvantages are the providers are more expensive and less likely to bargain.
But I am always looking for an alternative if, for no other reason, I am a consumate "sexual explorer" type monger.
As far as accomodations, please note this from a previous report of mine on the Frankfurt-RLD area this link:

Search by the "cheapest room"(system defaults to "most popular").
Thank you!
