await is not awaiting for the the key inside the awaited valiable

This is unexpected for me, but this seems to be some issue with async-await itself. I am using node v8.0

For the code below:

(async function(){
  var userProfile = await (myApiHelper.getUserProfile(userName));
  console.log(userProfile);
  console.log(userProfile.location);
}());

In above code,

console.log(userProfile)

, prints the correct data:

{"name": "abc", "location": "Bangalore"};

But

console.log(userProfile.location) 

prints undefined.

Can anyone please help me here, if I am doing anything wrong.

via undefined
