So surely EY apartments are way more spacious but have some non-trivial drawbacks too.
Disclaimer: I haven't traveled in EY apartments myself.
I have traveled in the Apartments and 100% they suck for lounging. But they're definitely bigger than EK's suites. EK has super comfy seats for chilling and hanging out in.
