midt for > centre
Explanation:
First floor, centre

Typical Danish blocks of flats were centred on a staircase with two flats on each storey, 1 tv and 1 th, 2 tv and 2 th etc. 1st floor left, 1st floor right and so on.

Some have three flats, so the centre one would be ´midt for´.

Without more context, I can only guess that that is what you mean.

There is a plan here, showing that the flat is directly opposite the lift, presumably between flats 1 tv and 1 th .
