Google Places API Place Description/Summary


Using the Google Places API I cannot seem to get the description of a place whether through a nearby_search or a details_search. Please look at the attached picture for what I am wanting to pull from the JSON. This information must be coming from somewhere, it's just a question of where.

This has been asked here: Displaying a Place Description on Google Places API for iOS but the answers are not adequate and link to documentation that I've read many times over and can't seem to find it.
