This is what you get when you serialize a PlaceInfo instance? Sorry, but I
don't buy this ...

What type is your converter actually handling and what does it in the
marshal method?

Because PlaceInfo has no field named "address". Therefore the converter for
the PlaceInfo instance does not know, what "address" means at all.

You cannot. If you really want to have the PlaceInfo element in your XML to
contain two elements named "address", you'll need a custom converter for
PlaceInfo.

You will have to create an Address instance, but I simply guess your
unmarshal method is not even called.
So, did you read and understand the converter tutorial?
