neutral  Marcelo González: Claro que son sinónimos, pero "piso" casi no se usa fuera de Europa. El uso de "departamento" y "apartamento" es mucho más común. >Hola, Juan. ¿Por qué usar "piso" en Canadá?

  -> Entre las dos opciones me quedaría con apartamento, quizás sea la más extendida. He escrito "piso" por la fuerza de la costumbre, que aunque no sea buena, a veces sí pesa, ¡saludos!
