OK here is an odd situation. This I have been facing from long time on so many Maps I have created.
Here is one sample address :
Hotel Tamisa Golf, Cam
That "address" is a "place" not a "postal address".
The geocoder finds the coordinates associated with a postal address, looks like it thinks the address is "Urbanización Mijas Golf, 13S, 29651 Mijas, Málaga, Spain": geocode
The places API finds "places": place
