Grammar
Down as an adjective
Hi
Supposing a building consists of four stories. Water pressure is very bad on the top story only, while the three below have no problem at all. So, can a person living on the fourth story say something like this--I mean the underlined part?
Thanks,
Tom

This is the only story in the building where the water pressure is so bad. The down flats seem to have no problem at all....I think "the flats below" will work. But I was wondering if spoken language would be a bit more relaxing.
Thanks,
Tom

no, 'down' isn't used in that way, even informally. You could say the 'downstairs' flats.

Or optionally, we could say " the lower floors seem to have no problem".
