how many people don't make the connection between the $1/$2 coins and the price. Many people will bring bags of coins and give them away but winge if they can't get the price down 5.000rp. Go figure.
You are right about where you stay affecting the price. I'm sure that's why most of them ask. Best to say you stay somewhere cheap.
I remember at the airport once I told the driver where I was going and all the guys started laughing. I was VERY worried as I had not seen it. It was OK but I wouldn't stay there again. Well it WAS cheap. As you said, you get what you pay for.
