That's the name of the apartment. Many English apartments are labeled with a combination of numbers and letters. The number scheme varies from building to building, but in this case (given the context of the article), I believe that 5 is the floor number, and E is the room letter. The rooms to the left and right would be 5F and 5D, and the room directly below would be 4E.
