Stayed at David's because I needed to be close to Hyde Park as I was working a BST weekend. David is welcoming, his flat is clean and has everything you need. The bed is so very comfortable and I slept so well. You are a stones throw from the Edgeware Road but you can't hear much noise at all! Loads of places around to get food if you want - particularly Le Pain Quotidien for coffee, breakfast, pastries etc. There's many options for public transport and you are very close to Oxford St if you want to go shopping. I thoroughly recommend David's place.
