<b>The space</b><br />A ridiculously central, stylishly designed flat within 7 minutes walk of Kings Cross and St Pancras Tube and Rail stations - easy access to Paris and Brussels on the Eurostar -and five bike rental docking stations. No need for a car!<br /><br />Recently described by Conde Nast Traveller as "the coolest neighbourhood in London", Kings Cross is truly amazing and constantly evolving. It still has some of the grittiness of the urban landscape, but millions spent on urban renewal, the direct link to Paris & Brussels via the Eurostar from St Pancras, the national rail links from Kings Cross and tonnes of new development in the area makes it a perfect central location to base your London experience.<br /><br />Only 20 minutes walking distance to Oxford Street, Russell Square, Islington, Regent's Canal, Camden, Primrose Hill, Old Street and Shoreditch. There's literally so much to do, it's impossible to describe without knowing what you like.<br /><br />This rental period
Kings Cross is transforming in front of our eyes! I love everything about this area: the surprising leafy squares, the access to everything - on foot! - the location is astonishing.
Hello! I'm Aleks. I'm originally from the US but lived in the UK for 20 years. I was in London for three of those, and absolutely love this city.

I also love this flat! It's so close to The Guardian newspaper offices (in the dynamic and delicious Kings Place venue on Regent's Canal), where I was the host of Tech Weekly, their technology podcast, for eight years, and where I have written columns and features about the social implications of the web. My first book was published by Guardian Books in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) , and is called Untangling the Web: What the Internet Is Doing to You.

The flat is also only 20 minutes away from the BBC on Regent's Street, where you can hear The Digital Human, a series on Radio 4, about who we are in the digital age.

It's also a 15 minute cycle ride to the LSE, where I was a Visiting Fellow in the Media and Communications department researching the little things the web assumes about us when we use sites like (Hidden by Airbnb) and (Hidden by Airbnb) . For it, I created something called The Serendipity Engine.

I'm a foodie, and love to cook. You can tell this by the cookware I have in the kitchen :) I am a big fan of the new branch of Caravan in the fabulous Granary Square around the corner, and love the street food revolution that's epitomised by _KERB, which is open around the corner every weekday on Kings Boulevard. My favourite restaurant in London, though, is a vegetarian joint, Mildred's in Soho.

I also love exploring this city, using books like Richard Barrett's Medical Walks of London or Peter Ackroyd's London: A Biography as a guide.

I'm currently in Brooklyn, working and living in a whole new city and time zone. 

I'm a voracious traveller; I was born in Malaysia to Polish-American parents, grew up in New Orleans, spent five years living just outside LA (though it's where most of my family still live), went to high school in Washington D.C., and college at Oberlin, in Ohio. I moved to the UK because I fell in love when I was studying abroad in Glasgow, Scotland. That relationship didn't last, but my love for the country remains.

I've lived in Glasgow where I learned to drink beer and eat haggis. I've lived in Leamington Spa near Birmingham in the Midlands where I discovered great curry and the cycle paths and canals that criss cross the country. I lived in Guildford where I got my MSc and PhD in Social Psychology. I've lived in Brighton where I began to play beach volleyball competitively on the national tour. And I lived in London, where I ran on the canal, ate good food, consumed local culture and generally loved the view. I've also done stints in Florence, Italy and Paris, France. Next up: Paris again. Or Tokyo for the (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) Olympics. Who knows? The world is our oyster.
