Anyone had interior painting done recently?

We are looking to get our dining room, kitchen, living room, downstairs hallway, foyer and upstairs hallway painted. We got a quote of $1800 including the paint and all the work. I'm just wondering if this seems appropriate/high/a steal...I don't know. I have absolutely no clue as we have never had this done before.

We paid $600 to have our living room (walls and ceiling) done. I've also heard of some people paying $250 per room (not including ceilings or closets). If you find someone good and inexpensive, please let me know.

We just had our living room (2 story) hallway and foyer (2 story) painted for under 1000. The guy did awesome job.

This seems REALLY high. I have a great guy, he just did the ceilings and crown molding for 3 rooms, plus our entire dining room including all trim, plus refinished/repainted our kitchen cabinets for $500 total, not including the cost of paint. He did a client's house that was 8 rooms, including all ceilings and a TON of trim work (it is a 1920's crafstman so has a bunch of intricate trim) for $1500. He has done work for a bunch of clients in the past (interior and exterior paint, as well as a bunch of carpentry and basic handyman stuff) and does a really great job and is by far the cheapest I have found. LMK if you would like his contact info.
