Corrected entry: Whenever we see the exterior of the Sheffield townhouse, there are four floors. But inside, there are only two floors. And we never hear about a neighbor that might live in a separate townhouse upstairs.

More trivia for The Nanny
Question: This might be a stupid question, but why do all three of the children speak in typical American voices? Wouldn't their speech have a British influence because of their father, and also Niles?
Answer: Children's brains and language skills are still developing at that age and they adapt to the environment they live in. My former boss was born in England and moved to the US at about eight years old. She completely lost her British accent by her teens, even though her parents still spoke as typical English citizens. A Japanese co-worker and his wife, also Japanese, spoke English as their second language. Their two children learned both English and Japanese simultaneously while growing up and spoke each language with the appropriate accent.
Answer: Kids tend to take on the accident of where they live. I once had a British student who lost his accent after a couple of years in the US.
Not just where they live, but also after their peers (who live there, but you know what I mean).
Answer: Not necessarily. Their late mother being American would've probably made the most impact on their speech, considering most kids spend most of their early years more with their mothers than fathers.
Gracie is young enough that she doesn't remember her mother. The episode "I Don't Remember Mama" was about this.

Correction: Just because they don't show the whole house in a way that you understand doesn't mean it isn't there. The place is basically only one room wide. The living room is on the ground floor. The kitchen and probably Nile's room is downstairs. There have to be at least 5 more bedrooms (Dad, 2 daughters, son, nanny), and I recall Cece living there too at one point, so considering an average of 2 rooms bathrooms per floor that's at least 3 more floors - there's at least 5 floors worth of rooms that must be there.
