This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
An upper room (τὸ ὑπερῷον)
With the article, denoting some well-known place of resort. It was the name given to the room directly under the flat roof. Such rooms were often set apart as halls for meetings. In such an apartment Paul delivered his farewell address at Troas (Act 20:8), and the body of Dorcas was laid (Act 9:37). Used by Luke only.
Abode (ἦσαν καταμένοντες)
The participle and finite verb, denoting continuance or habitual residence. Hence more correctly, as Rev., “where they were abiding.”
