Hi. Many here will say that you shouldn't fly indoors, but I don't subscribe to those views - you can fly anywhere that the props take you up and you can manoeuver (although that's the trick). Just warning.
I've flown both my P4 and P4P around my house quite OK (which admittedly is an open-plan home). Obstacle avoidance has occasionally kicked in and stopped movement in some directions, but otherwise all good. I did note that the P4 was sometimes 'jerky' when trying to make it change directtion, like it was struggling to work out where it was (perhaps this was due to the occasional glimpse of a GPS signal) so you'll need to be ready, and be delicate with the stick in any direction if it's being coy.
Regardless, I'd suggest a trial run, where you either turn obstacle avoidance off (and take a risk) or rely on ATTI mode (although you lose the benefit of other sensors). Sadly, you can't kick in Beginners Mode, as it requires GPS signal to take off.
Of course, with the P4P you could put it into Tripod Mode and turn 'narrow sensing' on.
