I'm looking into a possible trip next year to Prague and surrounding environs, traveling with wife and 2 children. I want to rent an apartment. It doesn't need to be in the tourist center, but convenient via public transit. I plan to use this as a base to explore the city, and also to do daytrips (Karlstejn, Bone Ossuary, etc.) and possibly an overnighter in Cesky Krumlov. I found one that seems to fit the bill. It is in the Vinohrady district, directly across the street from the Flora metro station and Flora Park shopping center.
1) Is this a relatively safe neighborhood? As we have children, I doubt we'll be out too late.
2) Since we're outside the main tourist area, would language be a major issue at nearby shops/restaurants?
3) Is Cesky Krumlov worth a visit? As it is a 4 hour or so train ride, I'd probably spend one night there in one of their pensions or B&B's.
Thanks for the insight.
