Upstairs Downstairs

I do not know why but I struggled for a long time to come to grips with the terms in French for saying "upstairs" and "downstairs". Quite simply, to say "upstairs", use the words "en haut" and to say "downstairs, use the words "en bas". Do not for a second think there is some other way of saying this in French. Keep it simple and you will be fine.

Examples

La chambre est en haut.          The bedroom is upstairs.
La cuisine est en bas.              The kitchen is downstairs.
