Cleveland Heights, Ohio — MY family’s platform for the Republican National Convention is “whatever the market will bear.” My wife, Alice, is renting out our guest room on Airbnb, and my older son, a lawyer, moonlights as an Uber driver. Our Airbnb guest, Omri Nahmias, is a reporter for Walla News in Israel. My son is driving delegates, reporters and off-duty cops from out of state, some of whom want to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I don’t like strangers in my house, but Alice does. She likes telling our guests about the area’s hidden gems. She should get a commission from Phoenix Coffee and On the Rise bakery. She started doing Airbnb a year ago. Last summer a guest complained that our sateen sheets were nubby, but other than that, it has been fairly smooth.
