I'm glad you enjoyed the book, and I hope it led to further reading. It comes with a list of caveats a mile long from other historians and anthropologists. Engaging, yes, but I would dispute it meets the "accuracy" criterion OP laid out.

For those unaware, Diamond's book attempts to explain the disparity of power and wealth between European cultures and the rest of the world. Thankfully, he explicitly rejects any argument based upon inherent white supremacy, so that's good. Since that old chestnut is off limits, though, he has to find a different paradigm to explain the disparity. To that end, he argued that the environmental factors of the European continent made it so any other outcome was practically impossible. The handful of geographical advantages afforded to those early civilizations compounded upon themselves time and time again, inevitably resulting in European hegemony.

On its face, it's an argument that makes some degree of sense, especially if your world history education is already predisposed to a Eurocentric view. Due to the book's success, it has been the subject of a lot of rebuttals and counter-arguments from other scholars. It's worth perusing some of that scholarship if you found Diamond's arguments interesting or compelling.
