Does someone have a diagram of where this is located in the plane? I've heard a lot of descriptions ("taking stairs", etc), but I can't imagine visually where this rest area is.

Above the main-level cabin usually toward the front of the A/C, maybe even over the flightdeck.

Some airlines are different. I went on board an Air France 773 out in the factory a while back and there was a crew rest mid cabin, and one of the overhead bin sections was an accent point.

These are defiantly cool, however, the Airbus crew rests are 'neat' to me. They are loaded into the cargo hold, same shape and look of a cargo bin, and have a hatch that opens up to a hole in the floor. I guess this is used so that the aircraft can go on short legs, long legs, and I want to say that the crew rest can be moved around the cargo hold when loaded (weight and balance?) [just throwing that out there, might not be right]

Just proves what a paranoid world we live in when it comes to aviation.
The 777 can take an underfloor crew rest area as well. When installed it is at the front of the rear hold.
This is not really a preferred option because it removes revenue capacity from the hold. Whereas the newer overhead rest areas allow for more cargo revenue.
Also some years ago when BA had crew rest areas located in the hold there was an incident where a loading crew tried to remove it and caused substantial damage to the rest area and cargo hold. This was despite large DO NOT REMOVE signs on the rest area.

I think its fine to share where the crew rest is on the T7s. However, I agree with your logic and personally won't disclose where the crew panic room is located on the T7. There is a difference, the crew rest is for relaxation, and the panic room is for terrorism.
I doubt that anybody would hand over the code to the cockpit door.

No, just how dumb some people are. This question is basically like asking where is the cockpit, not how to force entrance...
Quoting AirCanada014 (Reply 14): Crew rest cabin for B777s can they actually stand inside the rest area? if so amazing how much height they offer considering the fuselage is huge,.
I don't think they can stand upright, but they can sit in unreclined seats...

It's because there's no other place to put it without taking passenger space. The tradeoff is cargo ability. They turned a drawback into a feature, which is smart, but it's not the best solution.
I think you see carriers like LH and SQ put things in the hold because they have dedicated cargo operations as well so unfloor space isn't quite as vital to their overall operations as it is to someone like QF or CO.

Quoting BA787 (Reply 8): Do BA have these crew rest areas?
Quite a few of their 777s are equipped with 13 seats in First as opposed to 14 for the most part. The seat that would be 4K is the crew rest. You can see it in the back of a photo I took here: http://www.imagestation.com/4592222/3993012928
I'm not sure where they are on the aircraft with 17 and 14 First seats though. I believe someone has said nearer the back of the aircraft mid section.

The BA 777's have a cabin crew rest area above the cabin just aft of door 3. There is space for 6 crew. As mentioned earlier the flight deck crew have their own rest area at the back of First. The CC reat area was in the hold on the first few aircraft delivered but it was switched to the overhead area because of the impact on cargo capacity. This only applies to the RR engined 777's, though. The GE ones don't have such long range so there is no need for a rest area. I preferred the underfloor reat area, it is much more stable, although a little noisier. The one in the 747 is noisy and bumpy as it is right down at the back. When the aircraft 'fishtails' you get a bumpy ride. I never slept well on board.
