Here is a crazy idea. Call the number in the ad and ask what it means. - gringojrf, Oct 29, 2014

Answer 1

Ummm, this looks so rare: asc. could be ascensor (elevator) but pq. ¿¿??. Maybe it means parque (park) or is a bad writing of portal (building more or less).

It is really difficult to discern, there is so few data about it.

Hello jspecht,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You asked:

Well, It could possibly mean asc = ascensor (lift) p = piso q = quinto = fifth floor?

Perhaps it means you take the lift (asc = ascensor) to the fifth floor = piso quinto and it is number/flat 3 ? Flat number 3 on the fifth floor ?

There are two words in Spanish for flat = piso and apartamento

I agree with txusta boy that it is very difficult to work out with any certainty to what it refers

Perhaps reading other descriptions or comments about other apartments for sale in the same article/text might shed some light on it !

I hope this helps
