50 posts on the apartment rental website wg-gesucht was analyzed.
in landlords’ discription, the important locations essential for daily living in the city were pointed out, such as supermarkets, bus stops, church, university and more. the disctance to these places were categorized as right outside the door, within 5 minuts, within 10 minutes and so on. 

based on discription, a route plan was made for each post, and all the route plans were overlapped in one city map. 
this map provides a clearer representation of the everyday perception of the city - the most visited locations and the most mentioned routes.
