Default spacious

Hi,
"The post office is equipped with advanced technology and a spacious, pretty space for transactions."
Is "spacious" redundant in the sentence? If I kept "spacious", would it correct to replace "space" with "place"?
-> "The post office is equipped with advanced technology and a spacious, pretty place for transactions."
Thanks.

Yes, your amendment is better. I'd replace "pretty" with "attractive".
