Posts: 1885Interesting thing is that
There is an apartment #12 in a building with only 10 apartments per floor. Maybe the ground floor has a couple extras.
While it is none of my business (when has that ever stopped me, I prefer not to be on the ground floor in any place that I do not know very well. While most may be secure, I prefer to have gravity on my side.

Dto (sometimes Dpto) is an abbreviation for departmento or apartment. Therefore, the address is question is apartment number 12 on the first floor of 854 Humberto Primero Street.
Other words for street are also referred to as avenida (avenue), calle, etc
