I agree you have been asked for an exorbitant amount of money.
Here's the problem ... you are there for only 2 days and are staying in the most expensive and touristy place. Bombay is big and commute can be a problem. I am sure if you head north to say Mumbai Central or Dadar, you will find better prices. But you will need some local help.
