We could not see it at all.

Explanation:

The constellation Andromeda, like the other constellations, consists of many stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. We can find its galaxy in its same constellation, but if we located in the center of the milky way, we would not be able to see it. To see the Milky Way, you should search for the constellation Sagittarius, as the center of the Milky Way galaxy is placed beyond it.
