    In Argtentina, the name of the street comes first, followed by the street number. Thus, as previously pointed out, Humberto Primero is the name of the street and as you suspected 854 is the street number. "Piso" means "Floor" (the kind you walk on, not Flor (the kind you might want to climb on. So the apartment to which you refer is on the first floor. 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
    Yeah it is an apartment mate. Thanks for the help. Think I know where it is now

    Interesting 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.
