Location is a specific coordinate which uses longitude and latitude. Place is not specific. For example a school, park, library etc. Region has human and physical similarities.

A location is a very specific term. It usually pinpoints where an object is by using latitude/longitude, coordinates, or sometimes by reference to an object (eg. The pencil is 4 cm Northeast from the eraser.)

However, a place is a broad description of a location and doesn't necessarily give a specific definition of where it's spatial location is.

A region is a large or small part of the Earth that has similar characteristics. Areas outside this region have different characteristics.

Place is defined as the characteristics of somewhere, such as physical environment or things that make it unique.

Location is defined as something's position, relative to another place's position. For example, the location of Georgia can be described as 'north of Florida and east of Alabama.'

Place means something rather relative, such as 'John's house'. Location is the exact address or coordinates of a place. Location will always be the same, but the place could change.
