1 neighborhood: A neighborhood (US) or neighbourhood (UK) is a part of a town or city. Example: Greenwich village is a famous NEIGHBORHOOD in New York city OR I live in a poor NEIGHBORHOOD. In the conversation, Edward says that his "neighborhood is very loud". This means that the area that surrounds Edward's home is noisy. Poor Edward!
2 accommodation: Accommodation = lodging = any place you stay temporarily (a hotel, a youth hostel) or live permanently (a house or apartment). Example: The ACCOMMODATION was very cheap, but it was a long way from the beach. In the conversation, Bruno says, "the company covers accommodation expenses". An "expense" is a cost or charge, therefore, "accommodation expenses" are costs relating to living/staying somewhere.
3 furnished: "To furnish" means to supply a house or room with necessary furniture such as carpets and lamps. Therefore, if an apartment or house is "furnished" it has been equipped with furniture (tables, chairs, couches etc.). Rented apartments often come furnished (or fully furnished, which means that ALL necessary furniture is provided). In the conversation, Bruno asks Edward if his tent is furnished.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is incorrect. The estate agent tells Jean, "as you can see, this is the penthouse". A "penthouse" is an apartment that is situated on the roof, or top floor of a building. Because of their location, "penthouses" are usually considered to be the most luxurious and expensive apartments in the building.
This statement is incorrect. The estate agent tells Jean that "this property is in quite a different league from the one we visited yesterday." "(To be) in a different league" is to be in a different "category" or "class", it is unrelated to distance or location.
This statement is incorrect. The estate agent says that the "apartment comes fully furnished". A "fully-furnished (apartment)" is one that is equipped with "furniture". "To furnish (a room)" is to provide it with furniture, carpets, etc. "Furniture" (always a singular noun) refers to objects in the home and office: sofas, tables, chairs, beds, desks, etc.
This is a true statement. At the end of the dialogue, Jean says "I love this place. When can I move in? This place has everything I need, I can live here." This means that he likes the apartment, although his reaction to the high rent price suggests that it will be too expensive for him. "To move in (to a property)" is to begin to live and occupy it. "To move out (of an apartment)" is to stop living in an apartment.
