Can you please tell me the difference between beneath, below and underneath?

what should i use about the apartment below my apartment?

โ€˜underneathโ€™ย 
is just a less commonย 
and a bit more eloquent word that means โ€˜underโ€™.ย 
The two words are interchangeable when used as prepositions.

โ€˜beneathโ€™ is often usedย 
-figuratively:ย 
He thinks everybody is beneath him.
or
โ€“ to talk about being covered:ย 
beneath the covers/surface

โ€˜belowโ€™ is often used to refer to some level:
โ€“ below zero
โ€“ the sentence below (opposite: above)

Iโ€™d say:ย 
โ€“ below street level
โ€“ under my flatย 

I hope that helps!
