PlacesDetailsResponse response = await googleMapsApi.places.details(
    placeId: "ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4",
);

if (response.status == PlacesDetailsStatus.OK) {
    print(response.place);
}

Widget example:

PlaceAutocomplete(
    onSelected: (selection) {
        setState(() {
            _selection = selection;
        });
