There's no set answer to your question!
Experiment with mic positions. A starting point could be about 12" out from the 12th fret, angled slightly towards the soundhole. Try recording. Listen back to it - how's it sound?
Note that the way your room sounds will affect how your guitar sound is recorded - and also how it sounds when you listen back.
Typically small rooms aren't good without a lot of acoustic treatment (bass trapping, not 'acoustic foam') due to the short reverb time from the hard walls/floor/ceiling.
