Deserializing SFDC REST services JSON response

Receiving following response from SFDC REST Web Service (string jsonResponse below):

{
    "responseDataList": [{
        "salesforceRecordId": "a00C000000L5DQRIA3",
        "recordName": "Computer_Name_2",
        "IsSuccess": true,
        "errorMessage": null
    }]
}

Trying to deserialize it with ServiceStack.JsonSerializer:

    HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
    string jsonResponse = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
    ResponseDataList list = JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString<ResponseDataList>(jsonResponse);

ResponseDataList has following structure:

public class ResponseData
{
    public string salesforceRecordId { get; set; }
    public string recordName { get; set; }
    public bool IsSuccess { get; set; }
    public string errorMessage { get; set; }
}

public class ResponseDataList 
{
    List<ResponseData> responseDataList { get; set; }
}

However after deserialization ResponseDataList list is null. What do I do wrong, how to deserialize correctly?

If you're open to using Json.NET to do the deserialization instead of Service Stack, you can easily do it as follows without having to make the DataResponseList class:

var client = new WebClient();
var json = client.DownloadString("url");
IList<ResponseData> data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<ResponseData>>(json);

By making responseDataList public, I was able to deserialize properly.

public class ResponseDataList 
{
    public List<ResponseData> responseDataList { get; set; }
}
