Elasticsearch.Net and NEST, IGetResponse to document POCO?

I'm retrieving a document from Elasticsearch using the client.Get<MyDocument>(getRequest) syntax however the IGetResponse I retrieve is basically useless. It contains no fields of the document I want and basically only tells me that the .Get was successful (and includes the Id of the document I'm trying to get)

Here is my code:

TypeName typeName = TypeName.From<MyDocument>();
GetRequest request = new GetRequest(Index, typeName, new Id("R" + id));

// I can't get any of the fields I want from this object:
IGetResponse<MyDocument> result = Client.Get<MyDocument>(request);

My question is do I need to cast the IGetResponse<MyDocument> to a MyDocument somehow? Is there some step I'm missing here?

EDIT: P.S.: result.Found is true so it definitely succeeds in getting the document

From the documentation:

The Get() call returns an IGetResponse that holds the requested document as well as other meta data returned from Elasticsearch.

response.Source holds the document.

Figured it out: the property on the IGetResponse<MyDocument> I want is Source. Its the actual document object.

e.g.: 

IGetResponse<MyDocument> result = Client.Get<MyDocument>(request);
if (result.Found)
{
    MyDocument myDocument = result.Source;
}
