Stef, you misunderstood the address. Chinese people prefer to write the address in this way: province, city, district, detailed area (building, unit and then floor). If the address written in this way (six floor, three unit, three building, southern district....), you should have no problem in understanding it.

So unit 3, is a building not the apartment number. Is this correct? Sorry for the confusion

Yes, you are right. Usually, a community is made of several buildings. Each building may contain several units. Each unit contains many flats.
