There is no mention of them being in any other house during their stay in Jerusalem.
They entered Jerusalem originally with Jesus - where some had gone before and found lodging for them to eat the Last Supper.
It is plausible this was a house belonging to an (unnamed) disciple.
This disciple would undoubtedly have been among those who were to "tarry at Jerusalem".
Ergo, they tarried at Jerusalem - in this person's house as a place of temporary residence.

I think that the very best anyone could hope for as far as knowing where they were on the day of pentecost is that it is a possibility that it was the same place they were in a week earlier.
The Holy Ghost wasn't going to fall at a particular address. They only had to tarry at Jerusalem. They very well could have waited the whole week in one house... they very well could have been at different peoples houses at different times during that week.
No one knows.
It appears that the most one can say is that it is possible that they were in the same house they were in when they first returned to Jerusalem. But when the Holy Ghost fell.... even if they were in the same house... they may not have been in the upper room of the house anyway.
We haven't near enough evidence to say that the Holy Ghost was poured out in the same house much less the upper room of the same house.
We just cannot honestly know.
Leaving it there shouldn't be problematic.
