Hatcher and "house with two rooms"

$\begingroup$

On page 4 of Hatcher's "Algebraic Topology" he constructs the "house with two rooms" space. He claims that there is some neighborhood containing this space that is homeomorphic to the unit ball (in $\mathbb{R}^3$). I was hoping someone would demonstrate how to prove this.
