Peer comment(s):

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "thanks! I've selected this answer because it's clearly correct in some contexts, but I'm still not convinced in this case - you couldn't tell from all the x-ing out of info I did, but the original said (I've changed the names here to protect the innocent :)) REINO UNIDO, Descanso, St Peter´s Road, Richmond So, he lives on an unspecified floor on a road ?? (the building seems to have no number). Anyway - I've asked the client and we'll see what she says...thanks again!"
