upstairs or on the floor above?
If I live on the 3rd floor and my neighbors from 4th floor were noisy, can I say about them "People living upstairs were noisy" or "People living on the floor above"? Or both are correct?

"The people living upstairs" is more natural.

Kira, both are correct. I would say "the people living upstairs." However, if there are more floors above you than just one, saying "the people on the floor above me..." would clarify what you mean.

both r okay,but i will make some corrections tho
it would be better if you rephrase it like "people whose living on the floor above"
hope it helps

to me those both all the same mean. and because the word "upstairs" has already meant" on the floor above"', people tent to you "upstairs" for a shorter sentence. beside the second stence you should write "people living on the floor above were noisy" it sounds longer right? even though english learner like me don't bother about that xD
