Abstract: Let $ X$ be a countable CW complex and $ Y$ an ANR (for metric spaces) and let $ Y^X$ denote the space of continuous maps from $ X$ to $ Y$ with the compact-open topology. We show that, under mild restrictions, the following are equivalent: (1) $ Y^X$ is an $ \ell^2$-manifold, (2) $ Y^X$ is an ANR, (3) $ Y^X$ has the homotopy type of a CW complex. We also give a few interesting examples and applications.
