地方 (dì fang) is the everyday, all-purpose word for a 'place' or 'location' — any physical area. It's more general than 地点 (dì diǎn), which points to a specific, precise spot, and more colloquial than 场所 (chǎng suǒ), which is a formal venue or setting. 地方 also has a second sense meaning 'room, space' as in available capacity (e.g. in a car).
