You are welcome.

Note that, you use floor while you are talking from the inside of the house or about the inner side of the house and storey when you are talking from outside of the house and see the house as a whole.

Ex. Would you to third floor and see if jane is still in her room.

Ex. My grandparents live on the third floor of a five-storey building.

It helps me, in my occasion i think it is better to use multi-storey housing because i am going to say only that i have a flat in such boulding without specifying a number of floor.
