It's an apartment that's not on the ground floor.

boven = up, top, upstairs, ...
woning = house, home, place, ...

The term is only used in Holland, not in Belgium

[edit]:
Benedenwoning would be the opposite: you'd get (part) of the ground floor.

It means that the apartment is the upstairs of a house. Benedenwoning: is the downstairs version.
It is basically a house that is split in two apartments.

It literally translates to above living. It means, for example, the upstairs appartment of a house divided into a ground appartment and a upstairs appartment.

An apartment above a shop or something ,Upstairs flat/apartment.
The important definition is its location, it should be found in town, where shops are, not in a farm house somewhere in the boonies.
