Any good apartment recommendations in Providence or Pawtucket?

Hello, my fiancée and I are both from the Southern US and will be moving up to RI for 3 years due to his starting residency at RI hospital (brown) in June and we were just wondering if anyone here has good apartment recommendations with a budget of ~2k, needs to have AC and in unit washer and dryer. Covered parking would be nice but I know it’s hard to come by there. We are both in our late 20’s, no kids and one little cat. Not really needing to be by any going out areas or in the city just looking for a safe area that’s not too bad of a commute.

Also would you guys say that Pawtucket is a nice place to live and is there much bad traffic going from there to Providence?

We would love to take a trip up there and at least try and spend a day looking at some apartments but it’s difficult with my fiancées schedule. Hopefully we can get up there before June and would love to have some ideas of where to start looking
