Student accommodation in Frankfurt 

https://erasmusplay.com/en/search/frankfurt.html

The German city of Frankfurt is divided into 46 different neighbourhoods, some preserving its oldest legacy, such as its historic centre, and others adopting its more modern and cosmopolitan side. The city centre is undoubtedly one of the main attractions, although sometimes living here is not something that everyone can afford.

The important thing is that the city has a great public transport system, which gives you the opportunity to choose places further away from the centre to save money at the end of the month. We have selected these neighbourhoods, but you might also be interested in others such as Innenstadt, Gallusviertel, Westend or Bornheim, etc.

Apartments for rent in Altstadt

This is the historic part of the city, so there are fewer houses here, which means that the few that exist are at a prohibitive price. The good thing is that if you get a rental apartment in Altstadt you will be very close to all cultural and commercial activity and with good communication with the rest of the city areas.

Apartments in Bahnhofsviertel

Also known as the “Red Light District” of Frankfurt is one of the areas with more apartments for Erasmus students. You will be close to its great cultural offer and well connected with the rest of the districts. The amount of accommodation here is much higher than in Altstadt or Innenstadt, and a little cheaper.

University residence in Frankfurt

Residence are usually the first option that comes to mind when we consider leaving Erasmus, but the truth is that it is not as easy as it seems.
