The apartment is in a separate building from the check-in point. You have to ring the hotel, walk up a few floors, check in with a receptionist, and then she will walk you over to the room (which is a couple minutes away). We had our own bedroom and bathroom. There was also a balcony overlooking the courtyard and a big window looking over the city, which was nice. It took about ten minutes to walk to a nice view of the Colosseum, and about a half hour to the Pantheon/Trevi Fountain. We had a nice stay!
