Hello, everyone,
how should I refer to the part of a block of flats which you get in when you enter the front door? In Russia there is a staircase leading to a small ground where there are rows of postboxes (or how should I call them?) with the number of flat on each and there is a lift. I could call this place "staircase" or "stairs". In Russian we can say "I'll wait for you IN (this place)" or "Some guys are smoking IN the (...)." What word should I use instead of this place, if possible?
Thanks in advance )
