I wasn't able to get the console, hence you can ssh into the guest machine once you find out the ipaddress.
virsh net-dhcp-leases default
once you find your ip address, then ssh to the guest machine and execute the following commands to have the console login.
$ sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
$ sudo systemctl start [email protected]
once ^^ above is completed, then from your host machine,
virsh list --all
virsh console <name-of-your-machine>
