An update after some experimenting:

In this app, I am asking the user to enter street,city,country.

The parseStreetAddress does work...more or less. FOr example, in Holland:
Sandinostraat 2013,amsterdam,holland wont work
Sandinostraat,amsterdam,holland wont work either
but 2013 Sandinostraat does work.


I havent tried, but perhaps using one of the other streetAddress object properties, like postal code would work better....<shrug>.
