If you're travelling to Bayside, Queens or surrounding areas on a budget and are looking to take advantage of all the great bars/restaurants along and around Bell Blvd., it's hard to imagine a better a short stay than Clara's place. Her neighborhood and its streets are amazingly clean and calm - even picturesque in places. Parking near her home was a relative breeze, and we felt really safe and confident leaving our car and walking through the neighborhood, even at night. From Clara's place, a pleasant walk of a few/several blocks puts you right in the heart of everything along Bell Blvd. We stayed here for our one-day trip to Belmont Park over the 4th of July weekend, as Bayside is a short drive to/from our destination. We only needed the room for a few hours to sleep before heading home, and we loved being able to stay in the vibrant section of Bayside without paying upwards of $200 for a hotel room for just a few hours. Clara's place is very clean, and she had the in-room A/C unit cranking when we arrived, which was much appreciated after a long, hot day at the track. The room is small - perfect for sleeping - and the bed was comfortable and accommodated us well. (And we're not small guys.) If you're looking for "hotel amenities" like a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, look elsewhere: no TV in the room, but that was not an issue for us because we only cared about a good place to crash in a comfy bed, in a neighborhood where we weren't worrying about our tires being on the car when we got back - and we got that at Clara's. It looks like she has 2 or 3 guest rooms on the upper floor of her home, all potentially sharing the same bath (which is right outside your door), so if that situation potentially bothers you, it's something to consider. (I should point out that I'm a relative Airbnb newbie, so I'm still getting used to all the different details/situations one can run into when staying in someone's private residence.) Bottom line: if you're looking for reasonably priced, no-frills comfort in a clean home, in a pleasant neighborhood with a great location, Clara's place totally delivers.
