Actually, Ed was not the settled, homely type. Actually... But when he came to Berlin, everything turned out differently: first he fell in love with the city, then with Lotte, and and finally together they fell in love with their apartment.
In this video, they share their story and explain the role Hypofriend played in helping them buy their dream apartment in Berlin: enjoy life in quiet Tempelhof in a great, green neighborhood.
