Domy jako je tento, v těsné blízkosti mohutného opevnění hradního areálu a alegorických bizarností barokní Malé Strany, byly považovány za nuzné.

Mala Strana is known as Lesser Town (as pointed Jirina), but also as Little Side (http://www-aix.gsi.de/~adrich/isstp99/praha.html and http://www.bohemianet.com/stredni_cechy/praha/praha_en.htm ) or even as Little Town (http://www.minotel.com/minotelPublic/main/basicHotelInfo.asp... and http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/Czech_Republic/Prague/Pragu... )

I vote for not translating it at all

Yes, Leff is right, Little Side and Little Town are used as well. Search on Google shows more frequent use of Lesser Town. Materials provided by Prague Information Centre use it, too.
