Mr. Clive

why it is not wrong?

I think he must write

in my house instead of at my house

You can still sleep in my house if you need to stay longer here in the city.

Fine. I don't know why you said "still", though. It doesn't seem necessary unless the context (not shown) demands it.

I used "still" because the person already slept last night at my house. Thank you guys!

at my house is fine.
It shows that the speaker is thinking of the house as a location rather than as a structure.

If you use 'in', it sounds like you mean the person does not have to sleep outside your house, eg in your front yard.
