    The French version doesn’t say mansion, it says “house”. “Maison” is “house”, not “mansion” though the term is generic enough to include a mansion or a small house but not an apartment. Whoever translated the advertisement from French made a mistake.

    This is the rare moment where the English translation being vague and radically different from every other version actually works in its favor a little bit. You can't define a "little slice of Eorzea," so fans have less room to be upset when the house they expected to own never comes to fruition.
    They still just show a house on the picture and to me the expression is directly derived from “a slice of land” which refers to a of a piece of land in Eorzea. It’s not an expression one would use to refer to an apartment.
