There is no such thing as the perfect building, and for me to pretend otherwise would be naive. I understand most people who write reviews while passions are high and probably did not have the best experience. Me on the other hand, I have to say that The Accolade, although not perfect, is still a home away from home, and being an international student, that was something I really appreciated. Compared to other streets of U-District, it is basically a sanctuary. The view from the 20th and 21st floor is best in the whole city. Management could be a little bit more reachable, but they are clearly understaffed, so I have to be understanding about it. I would recommend anyone who is looking for an apartment to don't overlook the Accolade and do the proper Due Diligence, and the fact that you are reading this review means that you are on the right track.
