It can be described by the absolute or the relative location.
Absolute- you use latitude and longitude to pinpoint the exact spot where the place is located. Address can also be an absolute location.
Relative- you describe how the location is in relation to a nearby place. Most people use this way to show directions. For example, "the restaurant is across the street from the parking lot".

If you are referring to geographical coordinates, the most common way is Latitude and Longitude.

Longitude is to determine its position north or south, and latitude for east and west.
