I am with you 100% on the recliners. Almost every rental I pass on has no recliners and/or has undersized, uncomfortable looking furniture. My husband is a 100% recliner guy; a property has to be REALLY special for him to give that up and 95% are not. I don't think many renters realize how many people prefer them and that if we don't see them we simply scroll on by and keep looking at other properties. I've never requested or asked about furniture; it's usually obvious from the photos what it's furnished with. Older people will normally spend more time watching TV, sitting/reading than younger ones so I think in TV it's a good idea and certainly so if you also prefer them for yourselves.

I agree with the comment above. I wouldn't get hung up on using a sofa if 4 chairs work better. Function/comfort should be the priority. Smaller scale recliners should work out OK.
