Visitor to Freetown. Dangerous???

Hello,


I am a Danish citizen of mixied ethnicity, - wanting to visit and check out Sierra Leone - and especially Freetown.


Through out the years - I've heard all the horror stories of all the crazy dangers of Sierra Leone, - so I just want to hear from some people who are residents, or have visited and have personal experience...


My experience is that things and places are never as bad as advertised. I recently lived in Mexico in a very cartel heavy area, for five months  - and never had any issues.


So on a level from 1 - 10  - how dangerous is it to visit Sierra Leone?
