My friend and I spent one night in Florence and loved this place! About a half-hour walk to the city center, but only 10 minutes if you take the 17 bus! We were able to check in early and had a very nice time. However, if you want to go to museums, don't stay in Florence on a Monday, as they are closed that day (Duomo is open but the Uffizi, Galleria, etc. are not).
