Attractive place providing facility (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pleasing

'attractive' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'place providing facility' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'providing facility' becomes 'easing' (with ease or facility).
'pl'+'easing'='PLEASING'

(Other definitions for pleasing that I've seen before include "Pleasurable; satisfying" , "making one happy" , "agreeable - with 13d" , "Delightful" , "Gratifying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
