Florence is relatively compact. It is a fairly easy walk between the major tourist attractions. We stayed a few blocks from the train station and were less than a 10 minute walk to the Doumo and the Piazza Republica.

We stayed at Antica Torre Tornabuoni. It is in a great location on the Via Tornabuoni, Florence's smartest shopping street and right next to Ponte Santa Trinita (the next bridge down from the Ponte Vecchio). I'd highly recommend the hotel and the location. www.tornabuoni1.com

We rented an apartment for a month south of the train station and slightly east. We went to school completely on the other side of the city near Teatro Verdi. It was an easy walk every morning. You have a vast area surrounding the historic center that would be considered an easy walk.

We stayed at the Hotel Giada two weeks ago. It was a nice place and a great location, near the Duomo with a great market in front and good restaurant (ZaZa) nearby. Look for good hotel rates at www.venere.it.
