[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandparents live there and it is pretty amazing. The $500 chairs are probably authentic Saarinen chairs to keep with the mid-century aesthetic. (Also, $500/chair is not a lot for a an upscale lobby.)
The location is terrific--they hold season subscriptions to the Kennedy Center and go to Millenium Stage all the time, walk to Whole Foods, take the Metro, take super cheap classes at GW (there's a program for retirees who live in the same zip code), and walk or take a quick taxi to the Smithsonians. During the summer, they use the pool.
[b]The doormen are professionals--they have been there for decades and know everyone by name. The front desk is full-service. Maintenance is performed by the building engineer and his staff. [/b]
Each building in the Watergate is its own co-op, so each building is run a little differently. But, the co-op fees cover a lot, from what I understand.
I would totally live there as a senior, assuming I could afford it.[/quote]

I agree this is nice and a rare find in D.C. Not many full service white-glove condo/co-op buildings here for some reason.

Even the Wharf condos don't have doormen! Just a front desk attendant.[/quote]
