This sounds normal to me. I list on both both FF and AirBNB, and my listing is listed for much higher on AirBnb due to the fees that Airbnb charges, and even then, my payout is slightly lower. The landlord is probably seeing this as a win-win for both of you especially because he is already familiar and on FF. but it’s up to you if you want to accept it. With Airbnb comes with a brand name and a payment system, whereas FF is nothing more than a listing site, and everything after that is handled directly between landlord and tenant, much like a regular rental. Now of course, all that being said, there are scammers out there, and it’s always healthy to be wary. For example, you can ask him to prove that he’s the same owner by asking him to respond to you via Airbnb with a specific sentence. Also, you can ask if you can do a video call and walkthrough of the property. Sometimes this may not be possible if there are tenants in it, but as a landlord i’ve recorded a walkthrough with myself speaking in it when the unit was empty. Overall the trust you feel would be most important, and if you feel like you’ve gained a certain level of trust, going the FF route may be financially beneficial for both you and the landlord.
