Here are some thoughts from someone who has been there. When alone, anxious over something, feeling a tad frustrated until fully housebroken and quite mature, they will sometimes pee where our scent is very strong as a release of those tensions. Others pee by the door we left through. Others "go" on our shoes or things we love. It's not that uncommon. Clean it up, remove the bacteria with that special cleaner over and over and block him from the sofa, bed, etc., for a while with big cardboard boxes or tin foil on it. When Tibbe did this, I would matter of factly and without ANY malice show his pee to him, say "uh oh" without emotion and then take him immediately outside, saying "Potty outside is gooooooooood". Eventually, he began to see that I acknowledged his statement but showed him the preferred place to eliminate is where I choose and besides that, I'd block his other choices with boxes and foil and by the time he was 2 1/2, he became totally clean in the house.
