.

            The translation is   "3 levels up".

It is so if to consider "you" as the moving object and to consider the rest of the building as an unmoving media. But if to consider "YOU" as the "unmoving observer", then the rest of the building is translated "3 level down" including the Earth.

Everybody and everything is relative, do you know . . .
