How to fetch pattern variable with node and relationships (if present) - neo4j

Question

Suppose, we have the following data in neo4j DB ->
The java entity representation is as follows ->
#NodeEntity
public class Place {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String name;
}
#NodeEntity
public class Monument {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String name;
}
#NodeEntity
public class Person {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String name;
#Relationship(type = "VISITED", direction = Relationship.OUTGOING)
private Monument monument;
#Relationship(type = "STAYS", direction = Relationship.OUTGOING)
private Place place;
}
Now, I want to fetch all persons also populating the linked place and monument, if present. This means, the cypher query will not only provide me List< Person> as result and the Monument and Place object should also be linked with each Person object, if the links are available (and otherwise null).
To clarify it further, for Person 'Ron', I should be able to see the monument he visited and the place he stays, without performing any more queries to fetch the relationships. Similarly, for Person 'April', I should be able to see where she stays, but will not know which monument she visited because there is no link there.
With my basic knowledge in Cypher Query language, I have tried but could not get the desired result.
If I provide both the relations in the query and fetch the corresponding pattern variable, I only get the Person 'Ron' in the result.
MATCH
p=(place:Place)<-[STAYS]-(person:Person)-[VISITED]->(monument:Monument) RETURN p
If I only provide the relation 'STAYS', I get 'Ron' and 'April'.
MATCH p=(person:Person)-[STAYS]->(place:Place) RETURN p
If I query without the relationships, I only get the Person object and the monument and place are not linked [getMonument() and getPlace() is null even for Person 'Ron'].
MATCH p=(person:Person) RETURN p
I could not find a query where I get all of these.

Answer 1

You need to put the relations into optional matches, like this:
MATCH (person:Person)
OPTIONAL MATCH (person)-[:VISITED]->(monument)
OPTIONAL MATCH (person)-[:STAYS]->(place)
return person, place, monument
Otherwise, neo4j treats the relations in your query 1) as required, that's why 'Ron' will be the only result.
