He called five times to my apartment last week

In the sentence "He called five times to my apartment last week", is the grammar correct?

I want to write that Vince called five times to Mark's apartment using the phone. Vince called using a old phone (not a cell phone)

Thanks for your time!

As a non - native, I think of this - "Using the phone, Vince called Mark five times when he (Mark) was at his apartment."

Hi, Clive, & thanks for coming!

Can we also say 'to call someone's home/residence/office etc.', please?

For e.g. Will it be correct to say, "Vince called Mark's office/home/residence five times"?

Thank you.

No "to" with "call". I would say

He called me at my apartment five times last week.

The trick is to keep verb and object together; called me, called my apartment... The problems start when you put "five times" directly after the verb.

Please help me.
Is it completely wrong to say "he called me for 5 times" ?

I don't think we can say it's "completely wrong" because native speakers of English will understand exactly what you mean. However, nobody else says it like that, so it's something that is inappropriate to say because it is not idiomatic. In this latter sense I would say that it is complete
