Took train from Rome. I prefer to stay in the Oltrano section just across the Ponte Vecchia

There is a delicious restaurant La Casalinga. Great ribolitta. Bus to Fiesole can be fun for part of day.

We always took a bus - direct from in front of the airport terminal to beside the Santa Maria Novella train station; apparently there's no a direct tram - but it started up since we've last been to Firenze. Our favourite hotel is Hotel Rosso 23 (https://www.hotelrosso23.com/) - right on Piazza Santa Maria Novella, so very close to the train station, very central - but the piazza is relatively quiet, at least compared to the nearby bustle. Note that the Hotel Rosso 23 now shares an entrance, lobby, check-in, etc with Hotel Garibaldi Blu next door...
