Florence was an absoluetly wonderful city. Its a very artsy place, with locals and students armed with sketch books everywhere you turn. The museums are filled with some of the worlds most famous artwork and you can buy that of the locals on every corner. Its a small city, all reachable by foot. And whether its the size or the nature of its residents, its truly a quaint, comfortable town. We were only there for 3 short days (one of which we spent in tuscany as mentioned) but we felt as if we had known it for years. 
The streets are small, but have lots of unadvertised hidden gems tucked away. We saw Dantes house (of dantes inferno fame), amazing statues, basillicas, fountains, and piazzas. Its and easy town to wander and get "lost" without ever really losing your way. The small Florentine restaurants and shops (including the best gellato in Italy!) were definitely highlights.
It was a short trip through the region but we said that its such a comfortable, livable place. Definitely one that we'll have to return to one day.
