I know you've got several answers already, here's my two cents:
"Espacio" means "space".
But... it can mean "room" when you talk about a extent of space occupied: "There's no room/space for this" = "no hay espacio para esto".
It's also when used talking about a 'period of time' and the 'outer space.' = "Espacio de tiempo" and "el espacio exterior"
"Room", when meaning a part of a building is "habitación", "cuarto", "pieza" = "this house has three rooms" = "esta casa tiene tres habitaciones".
"Cuarto" in other contexts means "fourth" and "quarter".
"Block" as in "it's two blocks from here" is "cuadra" = "Está a dos cuadras de aquí".
"Block" as in "to go around the block" is "manzana".. Yes, like the fruit!!! = "Darle la vuelta a la manzana".
"Block" as in a piece of material is "bloque" = "a block of cement" = "un bloque de cemento".
I hope I didn't forget any.
Good question, star for you.

Espacio is room in the sense of space.
For example: No hay bastante espacio= There
isn't enough room.
Cuarto is a room you inhabit.
For example: Quisiéramos desocupar el cuarto.
We'd like to check out of our room.
(Useful phrase if you're on a trip!)
Block, in the sense of city block, is manzana.
(Yes, the same word means apple!)

It means ''space'' but in a few contexts it could also mean ''room'' in the SENSE OF space.
Examples:
-Este televisor ocupa mucho espacio = This TV set is taking up a lot of room/space.
Room as in a room you live in is = cuarto, habitación

espacio means space
el cuarto means quarter
block in spanish is bloque
I don't think they use block in spanish but rather they use streel which is calle

No, "espacio" means "space" unless your referring to your room as "my space"
Some words for room:
