Maybe I'll pass on the L track and look for a lot on SpotHero. But in the two cases I was looking at (Lincoln Park and Wicker Park), they lot locations were 2 or 3 blocks further away.
How long were you planning to park? Given that there's usually an abundance of metered street parking in those neighborhoods--plus, if you're visiting a friend, free permit parking--I can't imagine you're saving that much money going with SpotHero. I really think it's the best option for those occasions when you're able to save $10-30 off the cost of downtown parking.
