Pac n play vs crib

When I had my daughter 6 years ago I used a crib and had a pac n play but only ever used it when traveling.

With this baby I live in a small apartment with limited space, and to save room and money I thought it would be easier to buy a pac n play with the bassinet and changing station and just use that as his sleeping place for the first 2 years. But I’m still unsure.

Asking for opinions and experiences.

The 3 in 1 would also save money because I wouldn’t need a crib or a bassinet or a changing station.
