This is a true statement. Brian says 'The Mission district? But that's the trendy area of San Francisco.' The term 'trendy' means 'fashionable' or 'popular', for example: Flared trousers were very popular in the '70s, and Bruno had the largest flares in his school.
This is a true statement. Hannah says that her flat is 'so bright! There are windows everywhere!' A 'bright (room)' is one that has a lot of light, or has colours which reflect a lot of light (such as white and yellow). 'Bright' can also mean 'happy' and 'cheerful', for example: I'm a primary school teacher and I love to see the bright faces of my kids every day.
This is a true statement. Hannah says that she was able to sell her old flat, but with the money she received (£250,000), she 'would have never got a place like that back in London.' This implies that wasn't able to afford a new flat in London, as the prices were too high. Eventually she was able to buy 'the flat of (her) dreams' in San Francisco.
This statement is false. Hannah says 'I could afford to buy the flat of my dreams outright. I didn't even need a mortgage!' This means that she didn't need to borrow any money to pay for her flat because she had enough money to pay for it in one single payment. A 'mortgage' is a contractual promise of security, usually property, to a creditor in exchange for a loan of money. 'Mortgages' are often requested when needing money from a bank to pay for property.
