Working with python-google-places library, I have obtained the whole set of elements, i.e. place.name, place.place_id, etc.

googpla = GooglePlaces(apikey)

searchtxtplace = googpla.text_search(query = hotel[0]+" "+hotel[1])

        for place in searchtxtplace.places:

            place.get_details()

            listatemp.append(place.name)#.encode('utf-8'))

            #print place.name

            listatemp.append(place.place_id)

            diccionario = place.details

However, problems arise when I try to work with .details. .details is a string with the inner format of a dictionary, something like this (Note: I'm not copying literally all the repeated elements, in order to offer a manageable source for expressing my problem):

Inside place.details I can work with unique elements, such as 'rating'

listatemp.append(json.dumps(diccionario.get("rating"), default=decimal_default))

But I haven't been able to access to elements inside 'reviews' nested array. Indeed, I would like to loop inside it in order to obtain the five values of 'time'. I have tried to access dumping 'reviews', but I obtain a string instead of a proper json, and I cannot refer to elements such as 'time'

reviewes = (json.dumps(diccionario.get("reviews")))

My question is: How could I access to the inside of 'reviews' nested array or other data structure such as this?

Thank you very much in advance
