I like the overall UI of Places. It does a great job putting together the important factors you need to show your potential clients/buyers. Google has also done a great job of adding new pieces of content that enhances your profile like specials and posts.

Sometimes we see that wrong addresses are entered in Google Maps due to which many people reach the wrong place.
