I have a friend who had a safe on the main floor of his townhome. He placed it against a wall in a corner and it spanned at least two floor joists. After about a month the floor and the joists under it were bowed. We looked at it from the basement and at the time we decided it was probably going to be allright but just so you know it did distort the woodwork and I doubt if your downstairs neighbors would be too happy about it if they noticed.
