I'd be hesitant. Is it someone local? if so, I'd inquire as to why they want the rental. If I got some ID prior to meeting them, I'd feel more comfortable. Definitely do not meet them there alone.
AirBnB makes it difficult for hosts to contact guests unless they have a paid booking. You'd need to go off platform, which AirBnB frowns upon.
The last time I had this request it was because the guest wanted to rent outside of the platform, which I wasn't comfortable with .. it was for a 3 week long stay and I didn't want to take the risk.
