'die Wohnung' and 'das Appartement' can both mean a self-contained apartment in a larger building. 'Wohnung' is the general, neutral everyday term. 'Appartement' is used more often for furnished apartments, vacation apartments, or apartments that are meant to sound somewhat more upscale. Learners may confuse the words because an Appartement is usually also a Wohnung. If you are talking normally about your home or a rented apartment, 'Wohnung' fits. For travel, listings, or small furnished apartments, 'Appartement' often sounds more natural.
