Lakasa, I have a doubt about "piso". I take it for granted that we say "piso" for "apartment" here in Spain and in Latin and South America "apartamento" or "departamento" are more common. Is it possible that the piso here could be "the apartment" below"? (Only valid if your deadline hasn't passed for this translation).

: I'm sorry, but I do not consider"Native speaker of: English, Spanish" to be a valid "professional" description most of the times it appears on these sites. My comment covers everyone spuriously claiming 2 native languages, and is not a personal "attack."

It is not clear whether it is a building or a home, which usually has two floors. Our colleague is asking for help, and I gladly offered a suggestion. Your personal attack is thoroughly unprofessional.
